In short compass the author first takes time to define and explain what a covenant is, before going into the details of the different covenants that God made with Abraham. The relationship between covenants and cutting is explained, and a section is devoted to Abraham's final encounter recorded in the Scriptures, that of being asked to sacrifice his only son. The author shows how Abraham went from strength to strength, concludes with useful applications from his life which will encourage Christians living in the 21st Century.
