In particular, Hugenberger investigates Malachi's identification of marriage as a \"covenant\" in response to recent scholarly challenges to this identification.\u003cbr\u003eTaking the issues raised by Malachi as his point of departure, Hugenberger examines the nature of covenant and oath (including \u003ci\u003everba solemnia\u003c\/i\u003e and oath-signs), and, in light of these findings, explores the theory of marriage implied elsewhere in the Old Testament. Included in this investigation are an analysis of the concentric literary structure of Malachi and a study of the Old Testament's ethical perspectives on divorce, polygamy, and sexual fidelity.\u003cbr\u003eAn extensive bibliography and indices complete the book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Leather","offer_id":47614980784279,"sku":"9789004099777","price":31517.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004099777.webp?v=1775097575","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/marriage-as-a-covenant-a-study-of-biblical-law-and-ethics-governing-marriage-developed-from-the-perspective-of-malachi-9789004099777","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
