Having looked at the Old Covenant, Ten Commandments, Sin and Redemption, and Jesus as Messiah and Son of God, we turn in the Catechism to the New Covenant, the Covenant instituted through Christ’s sacrificial death to reconcile the whole world to God and make possible the church, the community of people reconciled to God drawn from all nations.

Our exploration of the Catechism comes to the third section dealing with the Old Covenant. This first entry in this section talks about the multiple covenants presented in the Old Testament as well as the different kinds of covenants represented throughout the Bible.

The last question from the 1979 Catechism dealing with God the Father explores where revelation takes place. In this post, the focus is on the covenant communities that stand behind the Bible and the Bible's emerging from the experiences of God in history by these communities.
