God''s covenant with Israel has been a central theme in understanding the Old Testament from ancient times, but in the last hundred years it has been a particularly prominent issue in critical biblical study. In this book Professor Nicholson argues that, while in some important respects the position today regarding the covenant is much the same as it was for leading scholars a century ago, in other ways the intervening debate has made it possible to see far more clearly just how crucial the covenant idea was in the development of what is distinctive in the faith of Israel.

Industry Reviews

' one of the most important recent monographs dealing with a theological concept... This is a fine study' Expository Times 'Professor Nicholson's work is an excellent survey of the whole debate' Society for Old Testament Study Book List 'One of the greatest needs of OT students has been for a book which conveniently surveys the study of 'covenant' in the OT, and puts the results into students' hands in a com rehensible form. This is such a book.' Themelíos ' both specialists and general readers will find it helpful' Theological Studies 'The importance of Ernest W. Nicholson's God and His People in recent biblical scholarship can hardly be over-emphasized.' Times Literary Supplement ' its conclusions are presented clearly; both specialists and general readers will find it helpful' Kevin G. O'Connell, S.J. 'a welcome addition to the company of affordable books which can be confidently recommended to students' A.G. Auld, Society for Old Testament Study 'important book' Theological Book Review
