Clay Trumbull is a scholarly treatise exploring the significance and symbolism of salt in primitive thought, written in the late 19th century. The work delves into various forms of covenanting, specifically focusing on the concept of a "covenant of salt," which is presented as having profound implications in ancient cultures and religious practices, indicating a deep bond between individuals or with the divine. Trumbull draws on historical and biblical references to illustrate the enduring nature of salt as a sacred symbol. At the start of the work, the author offers a preface detailing his academic journey and previous studies on covenants, ultimately leading to this volume's exploration of the covenant of salt. He sets the stage by discussing the wider implications of primitive customs associated with this rite, emphasizing its rarity in scholarly analysis despite its prevalence across different cultures. The introductory chapters outline the characteristics of a covenant and begin to unpack the unique role that salt plays, arguing for its representation of life, blood, and divine permanence. This framework suggests a comprehensive examination of both the anthropological and theological aspects of salt in the context of covenant-making practices in human history.
