The original, recognized, authorative resource for old-world covenants. The only book cited by the Encyclopedia Britannica as a source for information on Covenants, and Covenanting in Blood. The Blood Covenant is in fact one of the least understood, and yet most relevant covenants for our understanding of God's dealings with man, throughout the Bible. This covenant of life & death spans the entire sacrifical system of the Old Testament, all the way to the Act of Communion in the New Testament.

Sinai, Mosaic Ritual, In The Gospels), and an Appendix of Useful Information on the Blood and Life.
