Product Description
In 1884 I issued a volume on The Blood Cove nant :A Primitive Rite and its Bearings onS cripture. Later I was led to attempt, and to announce as in preparation, another volume in the field of primitive covenants, including a treatment ofT heN ame Covenant, The Covenant of Salt. and The Threshold Covenant. In 1896, I issued a separate volume on The Threshold Covenant, that subject having grown into such prominence in my studies as to justify its treatment by itself. These two works, The Blood Covenant and The Threshold Cove nant, have been welcomed by scholars on both sides of the ocean to an extent beyond my expectations, and in view of this I venture to submit some further researches in the field of primitive thought and customs.
