I will make an everlasting covenant with you ... ' (Isaiah 55:3).
'Covenant' is a major theme in the Bible, and many Christian
thinkers across the centuries have made it the organizing principle
by which they understand the Old and New Testaments. The biblical
material is undoubtedly plentiful, but some specific texts are also
much disputed. In this stimulating overview, Paul Williamson offers
fresh readings of many passages that contribute to the theme of
covenant, highlights its significance for biblical theology, and
explores its role within God's unfolding purpose. He concludes that
covenant is essentially 'a solemn commitment, guaranteeing promises
undertaken by one or both parties, sealed with an oath', and that
its primary function is to advance God's creative purpose of
universal blessing, from its inception in the primeval period to
its consummation in the new heavens and the new earth.
