RECENSION REVIEW

Noahic (Noah’s) Covenant

• The main features of this covenant are:

• it was entirely instituted by God,

• it was universal in scope, applying not only to Noah and his seed after him but to every living creature,

• it was unconditional, and

• it was everlasting.

• In it God undertook from his own free lovingkindness never again to destroy all with a flood.

Mitchell, T. C. Noah. Ed. D. R. W. Wood et al. New Bible dictionary 1996 : 827. Print.

Noaksförbund

• Huvuddragen i detta förbund är:

• det var helt instiftad av Gud,

• det hade universell räckvidd, gäller inte bara Noak och hans avkomma, men till varje levande varelse,

• det var ovillkorligt, och

• det var evigt.

• i det att Gud åtog sig, av nåd, att aldrig mer förstöra allt med en översvämning.

The message of the book of Genesis is seen in the juxtaposition of the two sections of the book.

Budskapet i 1 Moseboken ses i jämförelsen av de två delarna av boken.

The mission of God• “The whole Bible could be

portrayed as a very long answer to a very simple question: What can God do about the sin and rebellion of the human race?

• Genesis 12 through Revelation 22 is God’s answer to the question posed by the bleak narratives of Genesis 3-11.”

The mission of God• "Hela Bibeln kan beskrivas

som ett mycket lång svar på en mycket enkel fråga: Hur handlar Gud som reaktion på synd och mänsklighetens uppror?

• 1 Mos 12 till Uppenbarelseboken 22 är Guds svar på frågan som ställs i de sorgliga berättelser i 1 Mos 3-11."
