Abstract
Dr Eichrodt's work was the first important work in the modern movement towards constructing an Old Testament theology and in the eyes of many scholars is still the richest and most judicious approach, based as it is on the theme of the covenant. Volume One deals with the covenant relationship and its statutes, the name and nature of the covenant God and the instruments of the covenant.
