About the Book

Ernest Nicholson's contribution to Old Testament study is here honoured by former pupils, colleagues, and friends. Throughout his career, in Trinity College, Dublin, and in the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, he has been an effective ambassador for his subject at several levels: as a committed scholar, as an inspiring teacher, and as a loyal friend. The topic of Old Testament covenant has been a long-standing focus of many of his publications, and it is wholly appropriate that it should serve as a framework for this collection. The essays explore this topic from a variety of perspectives: literary, exegetical, historical, religious, and theological, and demonstrate its continuing vitality as a basis for original work in Old Testament study. The contributions include a substantial evaluation of Ernest Nicholson's writings.

Review :
`Review from other book by this author This splendidly produced and edited volume will be of great service. For those already working in biblical studies, it will challenge them in their own area, and inform them about other areas. For those who have been away from biblical studies for some years, or are beginning postgraduate study, this volume is an excellent first step to read oneself into the discipline.' Reviews in Religion & Theology `Diversity and turmoil characterise OT study nowadays; so this edition of the Society's survey is specially welcome. The editor has worked hard to be even-handed in providing a volume that judiciously covers the field.' John Goldingay, Church Times `I expect that these essays will lurk behind many an undergraduate essay for a while. They will also aid those who wonder whether there could be anything left to say about the OT, or why things seem to have changed so much since they were at college.' John Goldingay, Church Times, `...the essays constitute careful and insightful work that will make the volume a point of reference for future study.' The Journal of Theological Studies `The volume, coming from the hand of such distinguished scholars, and assiduously edited by an equally distinguished scholar, Andrew Mayes, ensures that the reader receives a thorough and evaluative treatment of the issues that face the researcher and teacher of the Old Testament today. I would especially recommend the book to tutors and teachers who are currently responsible for Old Testament courses, and for postgraduate seminar work.' Matin O'Kane, Scripture Bulletin, Vol. XXXI, No.1 `For a good introduction to covenant studies in particular and OT scholarship in general Covenant as Context is a valuable resource for the beginning scholar or mature OT student.' Themelios `Covenant as Context is a book that every young scholar should read to form a sense of past, present, and even future of covenant studies and OT scholarship. The book demonstrates the diversity of discussion that even a single theme can such as 'covenant' can produce.' Themelios `Here is a volume in which friends and colleagues acknowledge with gratitude Nicholson's contribution to the study of the Old Testament. The many warm tributes to him scattered throughout these essays make this a Festschrift in the full sense of the word.' Irish Biblical Studies 26/4
