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. 410 0$aEmunot. 606 $aCovenants$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aCovenant theology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCovenants$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aCovenant theology. 676 $a296.31172 700 $aCooper$b Simon$0542463 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462177003321 996 $aContemporary covenantal thought$92488089 997 $aUNINA
