Respect, understanding, collaboration, generosity Sweetie, ju lutem mos i merrni gjërat kaq personalisht. Ju siguroj se qëllimi im nuk ishte as t'ju nënvlerësoj e as të hedh poshtë kontributin tuaj. Respekti, mirëkuptimi, bashkëpunimi dhe zemërgjerësia duhet të jenë parimet bazë në këtë grup. Vetëm kështu ne mësojmë nga njeri-tjetri dhe përparojmë profesionalisht, nuk është fare çeshtja për 4 pikë më shumë apo më pak. Shpresoj që të shihemi përsëri në diskutimin e termave të tjerë që do të vijojnë. Punë të mbarë.
Sweetie Jan 28, 2017:
Polite dissent I'm at a loss to understand why Roland has decided this way. Alban proposed an answer, followed by an explanation which clearly shows that he does not know what covenant theology is. I then proposed a more accurate answer with (and this is important) documentation which shows why Alban’s explanation is false. Four other ProZ members agreed with Alban, yet none of them gave any reason why; when I posted my disagreement I summarized why, and referred to the explanation under my answer. But if their silence means that they consent to Alban’s explanation, that only goes to show that none of them knows what CT is either, and therefore the total value of their assertions is zero. Whereas, I have known what CT is for over 25 years, and therefore my answer carries more weight than that of five others who quite possibly have never even heard of CT before. Given their ignorance, they could/should have taken the initiative to take a brief look at the relevant Wiki entry, which would have prevented them from either stating or supporting Alban’s incorrect explanation.

This is not the first time I’ve seen that a KudoZ question has had a perverse outcome, and it puts me off contributing.

Teologjia e besëlidhjes/beslidhjeve Ju falenderoj të gjithëve për kontributin tuaj. Së fundi zgjodha sugjerimin e Albanit pra "teologjia e besëlidhjes/besëlidhjeve". Sweetie e kam patjetër parasysh edhe sugjerimin tënd për përdorimin në shumës.

teologjia e besëlidhjeve

This is preferable to the use of the singular (where the English might be ambiguous) based on the following from its Wiki entry:

"The standard form of covenant theology views the history of God's dealings with mankind, from Creation to Fall to Redemption to Consummation, under the framework of three overarching theological covenants: of redemption, works, and grace." [my emphasis]

--------------------------------------------------

The previous answer's suggestion that covenant theology is specifically about the (Mosaic) covenant in Exodus, is incorrect: it deals with (and attempts to integrate) *all* the covenants described in both Old and New Testaments.

I also think that "teologjia besëlidhore" would be acceptable, as it retains the numerical ambiguity of the source phrase ;)
