Summary

How is a covenant not like a contract? Dr. Jennifer Lane instructs how covenants are familial arrangements about family and belonging. We discuss what it means in the ancient Near East to be a kinsman-redeemer, how covenants create familial bonds, and how the need for redemption applies to us today.
