Covenant and Creation in Relationship

Abstract

This chapter presents an essay on the relation between the covenant and creation in the Old Testament. The Noachic covenant has often been neglected by biblical scholars because they tend to see it as part of a postexilic development that gradually brought covenant into closer harmony with ideas about creation. Another related reason is the view of creation ideas in the Old Testament as ‘late’ and subordinated to the doctrine of redemption such as the historical events of Exodus and the Mosaic covenant that establish Israel as the covenant people.
