The God of the Bible is a God who makes promises. The biblical story is a story of covenants, according to Brevard Childs. "Starting with Noah and continuing with the promise of land and posterity sealed in a covenant to Abraham...the covenant with Moses at Sinai...Israel's tragic history of convenantal terms according to the prophets...In sum, regardless of the age and circumstances lying behind the Deuteronomic covenant formulation, its theology became the normative expression of God's relation to Israel." Dr. Robinson will lead us through the theology which has been given us through these stories, culminating in the New Covenant sealed in Christ's blood. For those interested in a general but substantive romp through the Bible, do not miss class!!!
