Rolf Rendtorff is Emeritus Professor of Old Testament, University of Heidelberg.
'Rendtorff's study of all the passages using the "covenant formula"
in biblical order is a helpful contribution to a synchronic reading
of the Old Testament text... It will provide students with an
excellent introduction to covenant theology in the Bible.' John
Barton, Oxford 'Rendtorff's study is careful, detailed, and
animated by his concern that Christians take seriously the ongoing
viability of God's covenant with those of the Jewish faith. The
book is a helpful corrective to the tendency of some past
treatments to divide Old Testament covenants into different
traditions.' Dennis T. Olson, Princeton Theological Seminary,
Interpretation '...it is warmly recommended and should be in
libraries catering for degree-level Old Testament work.' Richard
Coggins, Theological Book Review 'This series will be a welcome
forum for thoughtful debate, and could be important in giving
appropriate reverence to the elders while advancing the serious
discussion of issues on which the biblical studies now in vogue
depend more than they may realise.' Gerard J. Norton OP, University
of Birmingham, Reviews in Religion and Theology 'The study is one
of the most illuminating among those written on the covenant and
the covenant formula... Rendtorff has produced a pioneering
contribution on covenant theology which cannot be overlooked.'
Zeitschrift fur Katholische Theologie '..one of the outstanding
postwar German biblical scholars...' Robert P. Carroll, University
of Glasgow, Theology '..signficant for its angle of approach as
much as for its actual contents.' Dr John Goldingay, Church Times
'This will be of importance to those interested in covenant
theology.' Dianne Bergant, The Bible Today
