Thinking Biblically: Breaking Down the Abrahamic Covenant in the Old Testament

A covenant in the Bible is an arrangement or promise between God and man. Found in Genesis 12, 15, and 17, the Abrahamic Covenant is a promise between God and Abraham’s descendants, which is brought up again and again throughout the Old Testament. In this episode, Dr. Stallard examines its key components—land, seed, and blessing—and explores whether this covenant was conditional or unconditional. We’ll also have some critical questions answered, including, Does the Abrahamic Covenant still apply to Israel? How does it shape our understanding of biblical prophecy? And what are the theological differences between those who see it as ongoing and those who reinterpret its promises? Join us as we carefully unpack one of the most important covenants in Scripture and consider its lasting implications for Israel, the church, and God’s redemptive plan.
