From the publisher

God shares his perfect love with his creatures in covenantal relationships. For such love to be realized, the people must love God fully and become a holy people, and experience the indwelling presence of God by living in a holy land. The authors trace these twin themes through Abraham's promised descendants and land, Moses's law and tabernacle, David's kingship and temple, and ultimately the Son of God's incarnation and sending of his Holy Spirit.
