There are three covenants. Two which God made with Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and Genesis ch.17), and one with Abraham's Israelite descendants in the time of Moses after the Exodus.
1) In Genesis ch.15, the Covenant Between the Parts:
a) God informs Abraham of future events (the Egyptian exile)
b) God promises the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham's descendants
c) The covenant is finalized through a demonstration of God's presence (see Genesis 15:7-9 and 15:17).
2) In Genesis ch.17, the covenant of circumcision:
a) The promises of many descendants (17:2,3) and of inheriting the land of Canaan are repeated (17:8), but the main thing in this covenant is the promise that God will be the God of Abraham (17:7, 17:8).
b) God promises that Abraham and Sarah will have a son (17:15-16), whom they will name Isaac (17:19) and who will be the continuation of God's covenant with Abraham (17:21).
c) The covenant itself is manifested through circumcision, for Abraham and his descendants (17:10).
3) The covenant between God and the Israelite nation (see Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), was made in the time of Moses, with Moses serving as the messenger.
This covenant is one of obedience, to listen to God's voice (Exodus 19:5), which will include the entire Torah (24:12). God, for His part, promised to treasure the Israelites (Exodus 19:5; and see also Deuteronomy 26:16-19). The covenant was manifested through God's giving the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.19-20), and was finalized (on our part) through the sacrifices described in Exodus ch.24.

What is the significance of Mary as the Ark of the New Covenant in Christian theology?
In Christian theology, Mary is seen as the Ark of the New Covenant because, like the Ark in the Old Testament, she carried within her the presence of God. This symbolism highlights her role in bringing Jesus, who is considered the fulfillment of the covenant between God and humanity. Mary is revered for her unique and sacred role in the salvation story, connecting the Old Testament promises with the New Testament fulfillment through her son, Jesus.
Does Christianity have scripture or a sacred book?
Yes - the Holy Bible. This is split into two sections - the Old Testament (old promise of God/Old Covenant or agreement) which is the story of God's revelation since the earliest times. This is still the Bible that the Jewish religion uses today, and would have been the Bible known to Jesus. The second section is the New Testament (the story of God's New covenant with mankind) which consists of four accounts of the life of Jesus by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, an account of the early Chuch (Acts) several letters by the Apostle Paul to various churches and individuals, various letters by other writers, and the Revelation of John which deals with the end of the world and the final judgment and salvation.

How is God's covenant with Noah different from his covenant with Abraham?
The story of Noah is a creation story and its purpose was to help explain where we came from and why things are the way they are. In this story, God made a great flood that covered the whole earth but, after the flood subsided, made a covenant with Noah that he would never again send a flood to destroy humanity. The sign of his covenant was the rainbow.The story of Abraham, in the form we have today, was a story of the Hebrew people. Its purpose was to help explain where the people came from and why they lived in the land of Israel. The covenant had two important parts: to make Abraham the father of many nations and to make him the father of a great nation. As an Israelite legend, this meant that the great nation would be Israel. Thus the Israelites learnt that they were descended from a great leader who had come from Ur of the Chaldees to live in the Promised Land, but not yet to settle and own it to the exclusion of others. The sign of God's covenant would be the circumcision of all Abraham's male descendants.
What was God's first covenant with humanity?
The first covenant that God made with humanity is known as the Noahic Covenant, which is described in the Bible in the story of Noah and the Great Flood. In this covenant, God promised to never again destroy the earth with a flood and established the rainbow as a sign of this promise.
