- Articles & Background:
- "Covenanting,"
by Prof. Eliezer Segal,
University of Calgary.
- "The fact that the Biblical covenant was established with a particular community, sharing a common ancestry and history, thus comes across as a perfectly natural phenomenon. In a country that is terrified by the prospects of regionalism and fragmentation, we might derive some consolation from the recognition that humans have a natural predilection for identifying with social units of a limited size, and that when I locate myself spiritually within one particular community this does imply a rejection of the validity of other communities, any more than my devotion to my own family demands that I despise all other families. Au contraire: Surely it is only through the love of spouse, family and community that we can hope to arrive at the ability to feel love for humanity "as a whole.""

- "We want to tell our children the ancient stories of promise, deliverance, human failure, and divine forgiveness and fidelity so that they, too, may come to 'love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and strength.' But just how do we go about imparting to them a deep knowledge of Scripture?
