Johannes Cocceius

Johannes Cocceius was a 17th-century Dutch theologian known for developing a systematic approach to understanding the Bible’s covenants—promises between God and humanity. He believed these covenants reveal God's plan of salvation and are central to biblical interpretation. Cocceius emphasized that God's promises and agreements unfold through history and are interconnected, offering a framework to understand Scripture's message of redemption. His ideas influenced Reformed theology, shaping how Christians interpret the Bible’s narrative of God's relationship with people from the Old to the New Testament.
