is also a technical term used quite a bit in theology. Some theological systems are even described using this term, such as “covenant theology” or “progressive covenantalism.” These descriptors pick up on the Bible’s use of covenant, which is an important term in both the Old and New Testaments. As with many important theological terms, some debate exists regarding how best to define a covenant. But at its core, a covenant is a binding arrangement—a contract of sorts—between two or more parties.
