Covenant Theology

“Since biblical history occurs entirely within these [biblical] covenants, it is imperative to understand their nature and their role in order to correctly interpret the Scriptures.  Consequently, covenant theology provides a context which allows for an understanding of the global structure of the plan of redemption by making the distinction between the parts and the whole and by explaining how these parts insert themselves into the whole.” – Pascal Denault (The Distinctiveness of Baptist Covenant Theology, Introduction, “Brief Historical Overview of Covenant Theology”)
