Biblical Theology

How do biblical covenants unfold around Christ?

Biblical-theological readings trace a storyline from creation and Abraham through Moses, David, exile, and the new covenant. The key disagreement is whether Christ mainly administers one promise, fulfils distinct covenants, or transforms their promises into a new-covenant shape.
