It is sometimes called Covenant theology because of its emphases on the covenant God made with Adam and the new covenant which came through Jesus Christ (Luke 22:20).
Wakati mwingine inaitwa Teolojia Agano kwa sababu ya msisitizo wake juu ya ahadi kati ya Mungu na Adamu na agano jipya ambalo lilikuja kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo (Luka 22:20).
