This course is a study of Covenant Theology from exegetical, theological and historical
perspectives. Covenant theology is the Bible’s way of explaining and deepening our
understanding of the atonement; our assurance; the sacraments; the continuity
of redemptive history; and Dynamic of God’s sovereignty and Christian responsibility/piety.
The doctrine of the covenants is thus important for both Reformed systematic and biblical
theology .
The course will survey the successive biblical covenants from a redemptive historical
perspective as well as examine the bi-covenantal structure of creation and redemption.
Consideration will be given to issues such as the relation of the Old and New Testaments, the
significance of the covenants for the doctrine of the atonement, for understanding sacramental
theology, the implications of Covenant Theology for Reformed hermeneutics and more.
Emphasis will be placed on the role of the Biblical doctrine of the covenants for preaching and
pastoral ministry.
