WHAT DOES COVENANTAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

covenantal

Covenant theology

Covenant theology is a Calvinist conceptual overview and interpretive framework for understanding the overall flow of the Bible. It uses the theological concept of covenant as an organizing principle for Christian theology. The standard description of covenant theology views the history of God's dealings with mankind, from Creation to Fall to Redemption to Consummation, under the framework of the three overarching theological covenants of redemption, works, and grace. These three covenants are called theological because they are not explicitly presented as such in the Bible but are thought to be theologically implicit, describing and summarizing the wealth of Scriptural data. Within historical Reformed systems of thought covenant theology is not merely treated as a point of doctrine or a central dogma, but the structure by which the biblical text organizes itself. As a framework for biblical interpretation, covenant theology stands in contrast to dispensationalism in regard to the relationship between the Old Covenant with national Israel and the New Covenant with the house of Israel in Christ's blood.
