Savez Božji s ljudima prema Starom i Novom zavjetu

The book "The Covenant of God with People According to the Old and New Testaments" by German theologian and biblical scholar Leo Krinetzki (translated by Adalbert Rebić) represents one of the fundamental works for understanding the theology of covenants in biblical thought. In this work, the author comprehensively and in-depthly explores the concept of "covenant" (Hebrew: berit, Greek: diatheke), which forms the very backbone of the theological message and continuity between the Old and New Testaments. Krinetzki analyzes in detail the Old Testament covenants that God makes with humanity and the chosen people, following their dynamics from the first patriarchs through Moses and the Sinai covenant to the prophetic announcements of a new, more faithful covenant. In the second part of the work, the author focuses on the New Testament revelation, presenting the threefold realization of the New Covenant: its historical establishment in the person and work of Jesus Christ, its development through the history of salvation and the life of the Church, and its final, eschatological completion at the end of time. Written with a thorough biblical-theological approach, this monograph combines exegetical precision and theological depth. The work is an extremely valuable handbook for theologians, students, and all who wish to understand more deeply the nature of God's faithfulness, the history of salvation, and the inextricable connection between the two biblical wholes.
