One of the most common arguments against Christianity is that the God of the Old Testament seemed so drastically different than the God of the New Testament. In the Old, many claim He seemed cruel and capricious, while in the New, He suddenly became a God of love and tolerance.

If God hasn’t changed, how do we explain the apparent difference? The answer lies in a long-forgotten word: covenant.
