What is a covenant? A biblical covenant is an agreement between God and man that governs their relationship. In the scriptures, a covenant was more than an impersonal contract, but a symbol of God's faithfulness and man's responsibility in worship. In both testaments, God established covenants with man. In this book, we will explore two foundational to God's interaction with His creation; that is, the Adamic Covenant and the Noahic Covenant. As we explore these two Covenants, we will see God's eternal purpose revealed, as well as the relevance of these covenants for the Christian today. . Small Group and Bible study edition is available: "Covenant Studies 101: Foundational Lessons from the Adamic and the Noahic Covenants."

Most people probably have a copy of the Bible in their homes, some hold one in their hands each week at church-and perhaps even attend a Bible study- but not everyone sees or appreciates the great beauty and intricate composition of the Bible," writes author Drake Williams. "The Bible, as a great work of art, deserves to be considered in unity." Combining first-rate scholarship with easy-to-understand language, Making Sense of the Bible examines the Bible as a literary work of art and reveals ten key threads that form the thematic tapestry spanning Old and New Testaments. With this book, the Bible will no longer be a jumble of unrelated books, promises, and exhortations, but a collective, cohesive, and more meaningful masterpiece to any reader who wishes to explore its full breadth and depth.
