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.
The question
Where the disagreement lies
A covenantal framework acts like a map for reading the whole Bible. The map determines how law, land, kingdom, temple, peoplehood, and blessing are related once Christ arrives.
