THE NEW COVENANT: PERSPECTIVES FROM THE LORD'S SUPPER TRADITIONS AND FROM THE PAULINE LETTERS

  • Petrus J Gräbe University of South Africa
Keywords: 'New Covenant', Lord's supper, Pauline letters

Abstract

For many Christians, the concept 'New Covenant' has the connotation of 'New Testament' as opposed to 'Old Testament'. 'New Covenant' is, however, also a thoroughly 'Old Testament' category. Although the term 'New Covenant' occurs only in Jeremiah 31:31-34, the issue is also present in the salvation prophecies of Ezechiel, Zachariah, Hosea and Deutero-Isiah.
