| Summary: | The topic of covenant is as important to the study of ancient Near Eastern religions, Second Temple Judaism, early Christian literature, and the early Christian Church and Rabbinic Judaism as it is complex and disputed among ancient and modern scholars. It permeates much of biblical and cognate literature throughout many centuries. The essays in this collection explore the diverse spectrum of covenant concepts that emerged during this time period in different parts of the ancient Near East and the Eastern Mediterranean. They also discuss theological implications and later applications in mostly religious texts from different scholarly perspectives. The result is a detailed, comprehensive, and thorough presentation of the tremendous range of covenantal concepts and their complexities in biblical and cognate literature throughout the ages, together with a keen look at the history of pertinent scholarly research. Das Thema "Bund" ist für das Studium der altorientalischen Religionen, des frühen Judentums, der neutestamentlichen Literatur sowie der frühchristlichen Kirche und des rabbinischen Judentums nach wie vor zentral. Dieser Band enthält eine umfassende und wissenschaftlich fundierte Eruierung des Spektrums von Bundeskonzeptionen. |
