This study is the first to investigate why Paul makes exclusive use of epangelia for the divine pledge when referring to the Abrahamic covenant, a usage of the term never found in the OT-LXX. After examining Jewish writings and Greek literature of the classical and Hellenistic periods, this study demonstrates that Paul is rather unique in his exclusive use of the epangelia word group for the divine pledge and for using the term predominantly in reference to the Abrahamic promises. This exclusive usage is further deemed unexpected in that the horkos and omnymi lexemes are by far the terms most commonly associated with Gods promises to Abraham in the OT, the literature with which Paul was most familiar. The study then moves to explain why Paul has chosen this path of discontinuity, where it is argued that Pauls exclusive choice of epangelia for the divine promise is driven by its conceptual and linguistic correspondence with the euangelion, one of the terms Paul adopted from the early church that forms the core of his ministry. This conceptual word study of the divine promise will benefit Pauline scholars interested in Pauls use of the OT as well as his association of the euangelion and epangelia word groups.

You that would judge me, do not judge alone this book or that, come to this hallowed place where my friends portraits hang and look thereon think where mans glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends. William Butler Yeats
Oh, where to begin?or, the more difficult question, where to end? There are so many to thank that all I can think about are the myriad of people whose names I will forget to include. My formal biblical and theological training began when I entered Wheaton College Graduate School. How fortunate I was to there meet my future Ph.D. referees, Greg Beale and Scott Hafemann, whose love for the Scriptures and the God of those Scriptures was instrumental in fanning the flame of my love for the same. Thanks also to Doug Moo and Gene Green, who both showed keen interest in my spiritual and academic development.
I am very fortunate to have been supervised during the writing of this dissertation at the University of Cambridge by Professor William Horbury. His remarkable intellect is surpassed only by his kindness. I also had the wonderful opportunity to be supervised by Professor Graham Davies for a term while Professor Horbury was on sabbatical. Many thanks also to my readers at the viva voce, Professor Markus Bockmuehl and Doctor Simon Gathercole.
Certainly, one of the great highlights of our family life so far has been the three years we spent living next door to the Tyndale House research library. We had the unique privilege of being served by three wardens during that time: Drs. Bruce Winter, David Baker, and Pete Williams. They and their wives were very gracious to us. The staff, composed of David and Enid In-stone-Brewer, Peter Head, Dirk and Marion Jongkind, Jonathan Chaplin, Gerald Bray, Fiona Craig, Tania Raiola, and Elizabeth Magba were constant helps.
I would like to thank Corneliu Constantineau, my former colleague at the Evaneoski Teoloki Fakultet in Osijek, Croatia, for providing me with the idea to pursue this topic. Special thanks go to our mission organization at the time, Church Resource Ministries, and our many donors who made this research sabbatical possible. Also, I am thankful to the Wheaton College library staff for making their many resources available for this research.
Finally, I would like to thank my family. Unbeknownst to them, my children have regularly reminded me of their sacrifices when I have overheard them asking their mother, When is Dad finally going to be finished with his writing? Having endured life with me in five countries and numerous cities, my children are the embodiment of perseverance. And, of course, there is my wife Rahela, to whom I dedicate this work. I have been amazed at her steadfast commitment to me through all of the living situations we have experienced on the mission field over the last couple of decades. Rahela continues to be the best example to me of someone who truly loves God and trusts in his promises.
Soli Deo Gloria!
