Additional information
The emergence of the English concept of ‘covenant’, as equivalent to the biblical Hebrew berit is sketched in 21 lines (pp.103– 4) of The social universe of the English Bible and closely investigated in this fifteen-page article on the basis of numerous additional sources and specific contexts relating to: the Scottish and English Covenants, Covenant theology, the influence of the concept Bund in Luther’s Bible, and the influence of the common law. All this reveals how the common Law concept of ‘covenant’ became habituated as a cardinal theological and political concept in the early modern culture of the Bible.
