Course Description

This course offers a deep exploration of God’s unfolding plan of salvation through the covenants made with His people—from Adam to Christ. Rooted in Scripture and guided by the Catholic tradition, students will examine how each covenant reveals God’s desire for communion with humanity, culminating in the New and Eternal Covenant in Jesus Christ. Through theological reflection and biblical study, this course will equip students to see the unity of Scripture, understand salvation history, and grow in their understanding of God’s faithfulness across time.
