In this week’s episode, Caleb is joined by Peter Gentry (PhD, University of Toronto) Distinguished Visiting Professor of Old Testament and Senior Research Fellow at the Text & Canon Institute at Phoenix Seminary, to talk about the importance of covenantal relationships in the biblical story. Together, they discuss the similarities and differences between ancient Near Eastern covenants and and modern day contracts with how the Bible defines covenantal relationships before showing how the biblical covenants are more than a unifying theme of Scripture but the backbone to Scripture’s entire storyline.
