*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 360 pages Published by: Society of Biblical Literature January 1, 2003 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 1589832906 ISBN 13 Number: 978-1589832909 Book Dimensions: 9 x 5.8 x 1 inches Weighs: 1.2 pounds *Book Description* During the reign of Cyrus the Great, founder of the Achaemenid Empire, the Jews returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. This Second Temple period is characterised by a changing mode of thinking. This volume traces the development of the concept of the covenant during this important era, by discussing relevant texts among the Apocrypha, such as Wisdom of Solomon; the Pseudepigrapha, especially the Dead Sea Scrolls and Jubilees; and the New Testament, such as the Pauline Letters. The authors deal with interesting concepts related to the idea of the covenant, such as law, wisdom, election, grace, the kingdom of God and even the role of food. This is an important piece of work for understanding the notion of the covenant in Judaism and Christianity, useful for theologians and historians, as well as students of the respective disciplines. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. *About The Author* Stanley E.
