Covenant theology is a framework used in Christian theology that emphasizes the importance of covenants, or agreements, between God and humanity. It identifies several key covenants in the Bible, such as the Noahic Covenant, Abrahamic Covenant, Mosaic Covenant, and the New Covenant established through Jesus Christ. These covenants are seen as central to understanding God's plan for salvation and the relationship between God and His people. This theological approach highlights the continuity of God's promises throughout Scripture, suggesting that the Old Testament and New Testament are interconnected through these covenants. Covenant theology often contrasts with dispensationalism, which views God's dealings with humanity in distinct periods or dispensations.
