Memory and Covenant combines a close reading of texts in the
deuteronomic, priestly, and holiness traditions with analysis of
ritual and scrutiny of the different terminology used in each
tradition regarding memory. Ellman demonstrates that the
exploration of the concept of memory is critical to understanding
the overall cosmologies, theologies, and religious programs of
these distinct traditions. All three regard memory as a vital
element of religious practice and as the principal instrument of
covenant fidelity - but in very different ways. Ellman shows that
for the deuteronomic tradition, memory is an epistemological and
pedagogical means for keeping Israel faithful to its God and God's
commandments, even when Israelites are far from the temple and its
worship. The priestly tradition, however, understands that the
covenant depends on God's memory, which must be aroused by the
sensory stimuli of the temple cult. The holiness school
incorporates the priestly idea of sensory memory but places
responsibility for remembering on Israel. A subsequent layer of
priestly tradition revives the centrality of God's memory within a
thorough-going theology uniting temple worship with creation.
