Covenant Theology and the Covenants (1 of 6 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 14 THE COVENANTS OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Covenant Theology recognizes only two basic covenants in Scripture: the supposed Covenant of Works, made with Adam before the fall, promising eternal life in exchange for Adam’s obedience, and the Covenant of Grace, providing salvation for fallen man. This latter covenant is made to include all of the covenants of God after the fall. The covenants are thus considered to be entirely redemptive in nature. Dispensationalists, on the other hand, view the covenants as redemptive but also as applying to specific dispensational programs in the plan of God.
