The Covenant Motif in Jeremiah's Book of Comfort: Textual and Intertextual Studies of Jeremiah 30-33 - Studies in Biblical Literature Tiberius Rata

The Covenant Motif in Jeremiah?s Book of Comfort: Textual and Intertextual Studies of Jeremiah 30-33 examines Jeremiah?s promise of a new covenant that God will interiorize his law into people?s hearts. This in-depth syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic study of selected texts in Jeremiah 30-33 comprises the foundation for a superb biblical theology of the new covenant. God?s pledge that this covenant is «not like the one I made with your fathers» is explored in relation to the Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants. Tiberius Rata makes a theologically and hermeneutically balanced incursion into Old Testament texts used in the New Testament and provides a springboard for further discussion on difficult yet important issues such as the Lord?s Supper and the future of Israel.
