The exploration will include a look at its origin and character in the ancient near east, a brief survey of its uses in general Jewish and Christian ethics and a review of some uses in healthcare ethics, focusing particularly on the work of Paul RamseyPaul Ramsey and William F.

The idea of covenant will be shown to derive from certain social and political arrangements made by AkkadiansAkkadians, HittitesHittites and IsraelitesIsrael. Key elements of covenants in the ancient near east included an emphasis on loyaltyLoyalty, shame and honorShame and honor, and what anthropologists have called “fictive kinshipFictive kinship.” Covenant terminology has been prominent in the ethics of Jewish and Christian scholars such as Louis E.
