Buy this book together with Simple and Bold: Ephrem’s Art of Symbolic Thought by Kees den Biesen
Murray’s study of the covenant theme begins with a chronological survey of the concept, beginning at the creation itself.  He traces this theme through the Bible, noting its key components of justice and peace.  The concept is a shared one between Judaism and Christianity, and Murray suggests that it continues to have ecological as well as spiritual relevance to the world today.+Ephrem the Syrian is known as one of the greatest Christian poets and as a unique author whose mode of thought is usually described as “symbolic.” In this work, Kees den Biesen explores the literary, intellectual, and theological mechanisms at work in Ephrem’s writings with the specific aim of identifying the exact nature of his “symbolic thought” and evaluating its contemporary relevance.  Den Biesen elaborates a comprehensive approach that integrates a variety of methods into a genuinely theological methodology.  He then proposes his own comprehensive understanding of the nature and merits of Ephrem’s symbolic thought.Save $31.95

Exegesis in the Targum of Psalms: The Old, the New, and the Rewritten by Timothy Edwards
The Old, the New and the Rewritten illustrates how Targum Psalms creatively interprets selected psalms and how those interpretations relate to other Jewish and Christian traditions, including early translations of the psalms, rabbinic Midrashim, the New Testament and early Church Fathers. The study of these Psalms suggests viewing Targum Psalms as a creative partner in the world of biblical interpretation, as opposed to a compilation of already existing midrashic material. Edwards portrays the Targum as a link between the written and oral Torah that leads its readers on a path to tradition.

Teacher of Holiness: The Holy Spirit in Origen's Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans by Maureen Beyer Moser
This book explores the pneumatology of Origen's Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans illustrates the centrality of the Holy Spirit for his theological project. As both God's exitus into the world and humanity's reditus to God, the Spirit forms the crucial link between Origen's doctrine of God and his spiritual anthropology. Origen's images for the Holy Spirit, understood in the context of second century concepts of 'spirit,' convey the intersection of theology and anthropology in his thought. This book explores Origen's understanding of the multiplicity of spirits found in the Scriptures, with particular emphasis on the Holy Spirit as pivotal to God's outreach into the world.

Robert Murray’s The Cosmic Covenant is now more widely available to the American market through the Tigris Imprint. Still as relevant today as it was when first published, Murray’s exploration of the covenant theme in the Bible includes a practical application for the ecological state of our planet today. Taking the concept of covenant beyond the standard landmark of Moses, back to the creation itself, Murray traces how this theme moves throughout Judaism and Christianity in a unified vision. Incorporating observations of Philo, the Talmud, Saint Isaac of Nineveh and other Syriac fathers that Murray has spent a lifetime studying, this monograph reflects the extensive wisdom of the East. Key concepts such as justice and peace are the very substance of the covenant idea; this was reflected in First Temple liturgies and informed the very idea of the royal aspect of God’s image. Beginning with a chronological survey, Murray demonstrates how covenant is connected to cosmic order and, although the concept varies between Judaism and Christianity, both traditions share it. If this theme were taken seriously, irresponsible action toward the Earth would be understood as a violation of God’s covenant with humanity.

Robert Murray, S.J. (b. 1925) taught at Heythrop College in the University of London. He is known for his substantial contributions to scholarship in biblical, Syriac, and theological studies. He has been a member of the Jesuit Order since 1949 and is noted for his dedication to Jewish-Christian relationships as well as inter-Christian dialogue.
