Refusing to accept anything but ever-increasing levels of human responsibility within a religious framework, covenantal thinkers audaciously suggest that the covenant empowers humanity as it binds and inhibits divinity. This is a reformulation of recurrent issues within the Jewish tradition, and one which pays homage to the modern context from which it emerges. Hartman and Borowitz grew up in the same mid-century American academic and social environment, and the product of that upbringing has a significant impact on the subsequent theories which they promote. Both thinkers have attracted a considerable following, but very few scholars have discussed them together. Cooper here for the first time works toward understanding their work in comparison with each other, and with covenant as the central focus and framework.

The book's point of departure is the return from the Exile, which is presented as an opportunity for Jews, primarly those in Judah, to interpret anew the relationship between God and Israel. The relationship had traditionally been thought of as a covenant, and central to the book's thesis is that post-exilic writers used a paradigm that was essentially that of the pre-exilic Mosiac covenant, i.e. a pact between God and humanity conditioned by the latter's observance of the law. The first part of the book describes the process whereby the Mosaic covenant was renovated and its content brought up

"Covenant: A Vital Element of Reformed Theology' provides a multi-disciplinary reflection on the theme of the covenant, from historical, biblical-theological and systematic-theological perspectives. The interaction between exegesis and dogmatics in the volume reveals the potential and relevance of this biblical motif. It proves to be vital in building bridges between God's revelation in the past and the actual question of how to live with him today"--

Die Vorstellung, der Gott Jahwe habe unter Mose mit seinem Volk Israel einen "Bund" bzw. "Vertrag" geschlossen, spielt im Alten Testament eine prominente Rolle. Zahlreiche formale und inhaltliche Parallelen zwischen altorientalischen Vasallenverträgen und Treueiden auf der einen und dem Buch Deuteronomium auf der anderen Seite machen es wahrscheinlich, dass politische Vertragstexte den theologischen Anstoß und die literarische Vorlage für die biblische Bundestheologie gebildet haben. Wie genau das Verhältnis zwischen Bundestheologie und altorientalischem Vertragsrecht zu bestimmen ist, ist freilich in der gegenwärtigen Forschung höchst umstritten. Die vorliegende Untersuchung versucht, vor dem Hintergrund des derzeit verfügbaren altorientalischen und biblischen Quellenmaterials den komplizierten Weg eines politischen Herrschaftsinstruments des Alten Orients ins Alte Testament nachzuzeichnen. Dabei sind die folgenden Fragestellungen leitend: 1. Woher stammen die in den bundestheologischen Texten rezipierten vertragsrechtlichen Traditionen? 2. Wann ist die Bundestheologie ausgebildet worden? 3. Wie könnte der Rezeptionsprozess verlaufen sein, an dessen Ende die Bundestheologie stand?

The struggle to read Jeremiah 31:31-34 as Christian Scripture has a long and divided history, cutting across nearly every major locus of Christian theology. Yet little has been done either to examine closely the varieties of interpretation in the Christian tradition from the post-Nicene period to the modern era, or to make use of such interpretations as helpful interlocutors. This work begins with Augustine's interpretation of Jer 31:31-34 as an absolute contrast between unbelief and faith, rather than the now-standard reading (found in Jerome) of a contrast between two successive religio-historical eras-one that governed Israel (the "old covenant") and a new era and its covenant inaugurated in the coming of Christ. Augustine's absolute contrast loosened the strict temporal concern, so that the faithful of any era were members of the "new covenant." The study traces Augustine's reading of an absolute contrast in a few key moments of Christian interpretation: Thomas Aquinas and high medieval theology, then the 16th and 17th century Reformed tradition. The thesis aims at a constructive reading of Jer 31:31-34, and so the struggle identified in these moments in the Christian tradition is brought into dialogue with modern critical discussions from Bernhard Duhm to the present. Finally, the author turns to an exegetical argument for an 'Augustinian' reading of the contrast of the covenants.
