The Covenant Formula:
An Exegetical and Theological Investigation
God's covenant with Israel is one of the most important themes of Old Testament scholarship: 'I will be your God, you shall be my people'. Yet this has only rarely been the focus of a comprehensive study.Professor Rendtorff explores the different ways the covenant formula is used in the Bible, its structural and theological functions, the connections between covenant and election.An important contribution to a canonical interpretation of the Hebrew Bible.
Example: The cooking of animals, spliting them apart, eating together - two parts of the covenant.
Break apart = what will happen if you break the covenant.
Eat, consume = bring the covenant into your body.
