I had been an apathetic person towards the Catholic Church after leaving it when I became an adult and pretty much was ticked off at God. A dear friend shared this book as my husband fought a serious form of cancer and I suddenly found myself no longer angry, but hungry for God's Word. I had all sorts of questions, doubts and fears. Our friend who is Catholic and is a Scott Hahn aficionado gave this book to me for Christmas and I found myself for the first time truly understanding God's amazing

This is my favorite book by Scott Hahn. So often you hear the argument that the God of the OT can't be the same God in the NT. This book does an excellent job of explaining the ways in which God started a covenant with Adam and Eve and expanded it throughout history to eventually include all of us through Jesus. Good primer on Typology as well.

Tough reading but informative. This is a book for us illiterate old testament folks that explains the OT and compares it with the New Testament. I is amazing how alike they are when you know what you are reading.
Book is text for basic theological bible study.

From the covenants of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David to the New Covenant initiated by Jesus, Biblical history is a divine love story between God the Father and his children.
Adam and Eve, the marriage covenant, two people; Noah's family, the household covenant, parents and children; Abraham the chieftain, the tribal covenant, thousands of people; Moses the Judge, the national covenant, tens of thousands of people; David the King, the national kingdom covenant, hundreds of thous More...

As a lifelong Christian I have spent a lot of time studying the Bible. Reading this book has been on of the most eye opening experiences in tying the entire Salvation story together. Bringing both the Old and New Testaments together to tell the gospel story in its fullness. Highly recommend!

I think this book might have been much better had I never read the bible before and didn't really know anything about the apparent progressive revelation contained therein. Hahn spends most of the book going over the stories in Genesis and Exodus, showing how God had a plan to save humanity from the time Adam sinned until Jesus, but with this being a Hahn book, the covenant actually progressed until it culminated with the Eucharist (an opinion which I don't accept but then again, I don't accept

I read this book about 8 years ago and I still think that this is one of my best reads ever. This book actually made understand the context of the Bible better (i.e: from the Covenant point of view), which helped me in future Bible studies and reflections. I would recommend this book for anyone who believe (or would like to strengthen his/her belief) that Our Father do love us from the times of Adam until now. That He is always faithful, even when we often are not.

This book was excellent in helping me connect descendants of those who were faithful and those who were unfaithful. Great exposition of the covenants God has made with His creation.
Highly Recommended.

I'm reading this again for maybe the third time in the last 10 years. It's such a good book. Though, I think Scott's theology may have advanced and I wonder if he rewrote this book today how things maybe reworded.

this is Scot's speciality about covenant. and typical of Scot Hahn of explaining complex biblical matter in easy languange, sometimes I found it humorous too.

Covenant theology is the key to connecting the Old and New Testaments. Nobody explains it better than Scott Hahn.
