Covenant and Grace in the Old Testament

Focusing on the Old Testament's portrayal of Israel's relationship with God, this book analyzes the influence of Assyrian royal propaganda. It reveals that Israel adapted language from Assyrian vassal treaties to articulate its covenant with God, suggesting that this concept is better understood as "grace." The work delves into the theological implications of this reinterpretation, engaging with contemporary theologians and emphasizing the importance of studying ancient texts within their historical context to uncover their modern relevance.
