Descriere

Description In Treaty of the Great King, Kline gives a detailed analysis and strong evidence for supporting the interpretation of Deuteronomy as being a legal document between Israel and YHWH that was patterned after ancient Near Eastern treaties, with Moses as its primary compiler. These studies were foundational in Kline's career as a covenant theologian. Meredith G. Kline (1922-2007) was Professor of Old Testament at Westminster Seminary California. He previously taught at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and at Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia), from which he received his BD and Th M degrees. He earned is Ph D degree in Assyriology and Egyptology under Cyrus Gordon at Dropsie College. He was also an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The collection of essays in Creator, Redeemer, Consummator, a festschrift written in honor of Dr. Kline, attests to the indelible influence his work has exerted on contemporary biblical and theological scholarship.
