Produktbeschreibung
This research is strictly limited to the theological investigation into the concept of covenant in the Old Testament and its implication in Yoruba culture. It must be noted here that the concept of covenant is very wide both in Old Testament and Yoruba culture, so the writer will only concentrate on the divine covenant that has to do with God's people in the light of the suzerainty covenant, and its comparison with the Yoruba cultural concept of covenant, making specific reference to the igbomina people in Yoruba South West Nigeria. By the way of recommendation though they are some similarities in the step while making a covenant in Old Testament and Yoruba culture, care must be taken in comparing the Yoruba deities with God. The Yoruba deities like ogun "the god of iron", sango "the god of thunder", and so on, are lesser gods and cannot be compared with the Almighty God. The Yoruba deities may be merciless and inconsiderate; the Almighty God is merciful and considerate.
