The God of Israel and the nations

Description:

"Christian Churches across the world have in recent decades reexamined the concept of "covenant" and have reached a virtual consensus: God has not renounced the covenant with Israel. The Church has not "replaced" Israel. In this book two leading experts on the Hebrew Scriptures, Norbert Lohfink, S.J., and Erich Zenger, offer an analysis of the biblical material on covenant, employing the methods of canonical and reader-response criticism. Their investigations show that the biblical testimony supports the churches' affirmation: God's covenant with Israel stands forever."--BOOK JACKET.
