Key Notes:

Covenants are central to God's plan of salvation. They progress from the initial covenant with Adam, through various covenants with key figures like Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and finally the New Covenant in Christ.
14
The Books of the Bible align with each period and reflect the themes and events of that time in salvation history.
