In this classic work of covenant theology, respected theologian and Bible scholar O. Palmer Robertson memorably and deftly defines a biblical covenant as “a bond in blood sovereignly administered.” His careful journey through the covenants of the Old Testament seeks to lay a solid foundation for unravelling the complex question of the relationship between the two testaments. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the distinctive, coherent message of the Scriptures as they explore the significance of God’s covenants and the covenantal role of Christ.
