Research the Bible to find the covenants you want to use in the paper. Use a concordance, Biblical commentaries, religious papers and studies or any other sources you can find to research covenants. You can choose one specific covenant, such as the covenant that God made with Abraham, or you can choose to research several covenants, such as all of the covenants that God made with Israel throughout biblical history. Write down the verses where you find information about the covenants.
Research the covenants to discover as much information as possible about them. Why were the covenants made? Who made them? Were they kept? When were the covenants fulfilled? Was any part of the covenant ever not fulfilled? Are there any indications in the Bible whether the covenant will be fulfilled at some time in the future? Use sources and commentaries other than the Bible as well.
Write your paper answering the above questions. Answer one question per paragraph. Reference the Bible verses in the paper along with your answers.
Add an overview and conclusion to the paper. It is best to write the overview and conclusion after creating the main points, because then you know what you are introducing and the final summary to the main question.
Cite the sources at the end of the paper in the "works cited" section, using whatever formatting your school requires. MLA and Chicago style are common choices for universities. Cite the book, chapter and verse for each biblical passage. It is likely that you will have a long source list with a biblical research paper.
