Covenant - Bound to God

Throughout the ancient world, people made covenants which bound them in responsibility to each other. We still make covenants every day, both big and small. God, too, makes covenants. In this video, Prof. Wright examines some of the key covenants God made with the people of Israel, and how these came to be fulfilled and renewed in the lives of Jesus’s followers.

Reading the Images is a weekly series of videos from N.T. Wright Online which explores the common images that run throughout the Biblical narrative.

I've been reading Wright for 20 years now, and I must say, it saddens me to see him physically aging. We all are (I know), but may we all ponder and appreciate the fact that we're living in the same timeline as a theological genius.

N.T. Wright is a gift to the Body of Christ, the Christian Church in these challenging times.

[chrisepting]

I can’t think of another biblical scholar of such stature in today’s church. His work will be a standard for generations to come.

[sandrainarizona]

Thanks be to GOD for NT Wright's lifetime of Christian biblical scholarship and teaching. A focus on the essentials is exactly what is needed for these troubled times.

[LoveGOD-LovePeople]

Hallelujah!!! Glory to God. Thank God for the covenant made to us in Christ Jesus it is eternally binding.

It’s truly crazy, the way we treat animals. 😢

[pennyleder]

Prof Wright’s hermeneutics - a brilliant, exemplary and inspirational analysis of God’s Old Testament covenant with Israel and the New Testament saving covenant through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

[olavoribeiro]

Beautiful and clear exposition of the Covenant theme in the Bible. Great, as always!

Greetings from Egypt Doctor, may God bless you 🙏

[AfricAnFelix]

That’s covenant theology. God bless you for your faithful interpretation

[dayanbarbosa]

Wow. That is a great exposition of Covenant theology. Thanks doc. Wright for remind us to keep looking to the Work of God through history. I am wondering how much this retrospect looking of God's faithfulness Work has been part of the church life. Has not the church too worry about the future events instead of living out the Work that Jesus has already done?

[flematicoreformandose]

If God interacts with human beings through redeeming covenants, then it means that his faithfulness and compassion is immense, and that we are incapable of being happy on our own.

Would be great if it all wasnt mythology. Paul's idea of Covenant is very different than the Covenant made with Israel. Blood is very prominent in the Old but not drinking blood. No Jew would ever submit to that.

[jackshadow]

The New Covenant was only promised to the house of Israel and the house of Judah (Jeremiah 31.31ff).
