Covenant and Chosenness in Judaism and MormonismRaphael Jospe, Truman G. Madsen, Seth Ward Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 2001 - 225 pages Covenant and chosenness resonate deeply in both Mormon and Jewish traditions. For both of these communities, covenant and chosenness represent enduring interpretations of scriptural texts and promises, ever-present in themes of divine worship and liturgy. The chapters of this volume written by leading scholars of both communities, debate scriptural foundations, the signs of the covenant, the development of theological ideas about covenant, and issues of inclusivity and exclusivity implied by chosenness. |
