The Covenant of Salt

By Bishop M. Lester Dighton

Most people in church have never even heard of the covenant of salt in any of their Bible teachings or studies, let alone have any understanding of what it could mean to them today. They do not know if it is something that is no longer applicable to any of us today, even for the Jews, or if it is still relevant to us today, even as Christians.

Bishop Lester takes a concise look at the various aspects of salt and how it relates to us in our covenant with God and opens up on what it can mean to our Christian walk today and in our approach to our Bible studies.

This is a larger print study that should make it easier for all who undertake it.
