In this study Schniedewind looks at how this dynastic Promise has been understood and transmitted from the time of its first appearance at the inception of the Hebrew monarchy until the dawn of Christianity. He shows in detail how, over the centuries, the Promise grew in importance and prestige. One measure of this growing importance was the Promise's ability to coax new readers into fresh interpretations.Oxford scholarship online.CovenantsBiblical teachingCovenantsBiblical teaching.222.4406Schniedewind William M777190MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821783503321Society and the promise to David4099108UNINA
