Every connection between the Lord and humanity is rooted in covenant-a living contract that is bound, not by the frailties of human nature, but by God's unwavering commitment to each of us. Covenant is the bedrock of the Christian faith, the heartbeat of God's Word, and the essence of our relationship with Him.Only by studying covenant-in its original, ancient context-can we grasp the depth of God's love and the significance of Christ's blood. Brimming with fresh insight, Ultimate Commitment leads all believers toward a deeper comprehension of these covenant concepts, in the Bible and the contemporary world. A personal encounter with covenant will revolutionize your faith and breathe new life into your understanding of Scripture, God's character, and the power of His promises. JoAnn Zajicek is the director of the Union Gospel Mission's Center for Women and Children in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho.

The inaugural lecture is a tradition that has been practiced in western universities for centuries. These lectures originated in the great universities of continental Europe, spread to Great Britain, and then to North America. The tradition has now been appropriated further by universities around the world and especially of late in majority world countries. The inaugural lecture is a form of academic discourse, in which the recipient of a suitable academic honor--usually the bestowal of a form of professorial appointment--offers a public lecture in recognition of the event. McMaster Divinity College follows in this academic tradition by attaching public inaugural lectures to the appointment of scholars to professorial positions, and in particular to those appointed to endowed and named professorial chairs within the institution. McMaster Divinity College currently has six such endowed, named chairs held by its faculty. This volume contains the six lectures by those in these six chairs, representing the fields of preaching, theology, pastoral studies, Christian worldview, ministry studies, and Christian history. Each of these inaugural lectures is a contribution to scholarship in the field and a token of the inaugural professorial lecture.
