Covenant and Promise

by John Bright

This eloquent presentation of the messages of the great Old Testament prophets of the eighth and seventh centuries B.C. will appeal, especially, to the many thousands who have read and studied the author's "A History of Israel." "Covenant and Promise" is an expanded version of the Thomas White Currie Lectures. Thoroughly documented with Scripture references and supplied with indexes of Bible references, and of persons and subjects, this is a book for ministers and all teachers and students of the Bible, as well as college and seminary courses on the prophets.

About the author

John Bright was an American biblical scholar, the author of several important books including the influential A History of Israel, currently in its fourth edition. He was closely associated with the American school of Biblical criticism pioneered by William F. Albright, which sought to marry archaeology to a defence of the reliability of the Bible, especially the earlier books of the Old Testament.
