Summary:	In both the Old and New Testaments the pattern of grace and Torah, in that order, is perhaps the central feature. The pattern is evident as early as the Exodus experience, and is to be traced through the prophets' memory of Moses all the way to the Pauline theme of God's deliverance in Jesus Christ. The Mosaic religion is one of grace. Covenant implies the grace of deliverance and the Torah itself is an act of grace. The Deuteronomist is concerned about Judah's failure to accept the Torah as a response to God's grace and love. The later prophets, most notably Jeremiah, speak of the Lord's goodness to Israel manifested both in his guidance through the desert and in his determination to renew the captive nation's response to his gracious deliverance through Christ, and the following chapters to the Torah of the Christian life. In brief scope, Professor Myers opens up fresh insights into the unity of the biblical message - the unity of grace and Torah.
