{"product_id":"covenant-and-liberation-chris-baker-9783631434796","title":"Covenant and Liberation: Giving New Heart to God's Endangered Family","description":"This book springs from the practical interaction of two absorbing interests: in covenant, thanks to many years of lecturing on the Scriptures, in which covenants provide a sure road from start to finish of the Bible; and in liberation, an interest sharpened by more than a decade of working in a Lima parish with people struggling desperately to break free from the cycle of poverty, oppression and premature death. Theirs is part of the struggle for liberation throughout Latin America and many other parts of our global home. Reflecting with the poor on their situation in the light of the Scriptures has led to a fuller realization that covenant and liberation are two sides of the same coin - liberation is for covenant, and covenant is to consolidate and promote freedom as befits God's family. First comes a synthesis of the biblical covenants, indicating their continuity but also the unique characteristics of each one. Special attention is paid to the new covenant, often reflected in terms of kingdom, community, family and mutual love. Then it is indicated how new light may be drawn from such a central biblical theme in order to view correctly and share personally in today's liberation struggles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Baker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631434790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631434796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Chris Baker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659544867071,"sku":"9783631434796","price":91.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/covenant-and-liberation-chris-baker-9783631434796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
