The thesis of this volume is to affirm a unifying theme to Old Testament writings, despite of all its diversity, tensions, and genres. This uniting theme, according to Eichrodt, is “the concept of the covenant,” without which not only the faith of ancient Israel will collapse. But also, Israel could not have been established as a nation. Eichrodt methodology rests on two aspects: first comparative study of ANE as they relate to the faith of Ancient Israel, second, looking on towards the New Testament as it reflects on the Old.
