A Concise Guide to Covenant Theology with Alec Motyer

Most of us don’t use the word covenant often. But the Bible is built on covenants—God’s promises to His people. Understanding these promises across the Bible, including those God made to Noah, Abraham, and Moses, can help you better understand God’s salvation master plan. That’s what the book Covenant Foundations: Understanding the Promise-Keeping God of the Bible explores.

Covenant theology can seem complicated, but this book makes it simple. It’s a collection of teaching from late author and theologian Alec Motyer that connects the dots between events like the great flood, the first Passover, and Isreal’s rescue from Egypt. The book explains how these events intertwine with each other and what they teach us about our promise-making, promise-keeping God.

By tracing the covenant path from Noah through Abraham, Moses, David, and the prophets, this short book offers an in-depth look at God’s plan of salvation for His people. It explains covenant signs like the rainbow, explores the theme of God’s promises throughout Scripture, and serves as a great reminder that His promises are always certain.
