The concept of the covenant develops throughout the Biblical text, as God's dealings with mankind become more personal and unique. The concept of G-d's covenant develops throughout the bible as G-d reconciles mankind. This can first be seen with G-d's dealing with Adam and Eve.

do not separate Him from His full- orbed character (Luke 4:14-9:50, John 1:19-
2:50). The four Gospels narrate, largely, the same things, but with some
differences. Only Matthew and Luke tell of the Birth and childhood of Jesus
(Matthew 1:14-9:1, Luke 1:5-4:13). Matthew and Mark dwell on the Galilean

The others omit the Judean Ministry, except the Last Week, which all four cover
rather extensively. The Last Week occupies one ....

God generally refers to one supreme, holy, personal being, The divine unity of ultimate good-ness and of ultimate reality. St. Anselm of Canterbury developed what we have learned to be the ontological argument. He began his argument by saying that even a fool can grasp or understand the concept of “a being than of which nothing greater can be conceived.” He continues to state that a fool would say that the concept of this being’s existence is only in his mind and in the mind of others but not in reality ....

Religious Meaning Of The Birthright Story
