491_9781607240150
This book examines the Old Testament language about Israels relationship with God in the light of Assyrian royal propaganda. Unpacking this languages meaning in both Assyrian and biblical contexts, it shows Israel borrowed language from Assyrian vassal treaties to describe its covenant with God, and this book reveals what covenant meant, and that it is not covenant at all, but grace. The broader theological implications of this discovery are explored in dialogue with contemporary theologians. The book takes seriously the study of text in its ancient context in order to highlight the theological content and its modern relevance.
