The Bible is not a collection of loosely related stories and heroic acts by Godly people. Instead, it is telling many stories that weave together to tell one large story. The biggest theme in the Bible that ties it all together is the idea of covenant. Time and time again we see the picture of God coming to man and establishing a covenant. Why does this matter to us? What do the covenants teach us about how God acts and who He is? Why do we see this idea repeated so many times in so many ways?
