Contemporary Covenantal Thought

More about the book

Covenantal thinkers propose that the covenant enhances human responsibility while simultaneously limiting divine power, offering a fresh perspective on Jewish tradition. The authors, Hartman and Borowitz, share a mid-century American academic background that influences their theories. Despite their significant followings, scholarly discussion has rarely compared their ideas. Cooper's analysis presents a groundbreaking exploration of their works, positioning covenant as the central theme to understand their contributions and the modern context from which they arise.
