teologjia e besëlidhjeve


Explanation:
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 ;)
