MeierLanguage: EnglishSubtitle: Law and LoveISBN-10: 0300140967Description: A leading scholar of the historical Jesus clarifies and illuminates Jesus’ teachings on Jewish law John Meier’s previous volumes in the acclaimed series A Marginal Jew are founded upon the notion that while solid historical information about Jesus is quite limited, people of different faiths can nevertheless arrive at a consensus on fundamental historical facts of his life. In this eagerly anticipated fourth volume in the series, Meier approaches a fresh topic—the teachings of the historical Jesus concerning Mosaic Law and morality—with the same rigor, thoroughness, accuracy, and insightfulness on display in his earlier works. After correcting misconceptions about Mosaic Law in Jesus’ time, this volume addresses the teachings of Jesus on major legal topics like divorce, oaths, the Sabbath, purity rules, and the various love commandments in the Gospels. What emerges from Meier’s research is a profile of a complicated first-century Palestinian Jew who, far from seeking to abolish the Law, was deeply engaged in debates about its observance. Only by embracing this portrait of the historical Jesus grappling with questions of the Torah do we avoid the common mistake of constructing Christian moral theology under the guise of studying “Jesus and the Law,” the author concludes.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Anchor Yale Bible Reference LibraryRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
