Jesus and the Law of Moses The Gospels and the Restoration of Israel within First-Century Judaism Paul T. Sloan
This book explores the Synoptic Gospels’ depiction of Jesus as an authoritative teacher who heralds Israel’s restoration and participates in intra-Jewish debate about how to keep the Law.
“Jewish Law provided not the contrast to Jesus’s message but its context and much of its content. Sloan restores this dimension to the Synoptic Gospels’ representations of Jesus. An exemplary work of scholarship.” —Paula Fredriksen, Boston University (emerita) “A timely and welcome corrective to the persistent and dominant dichotomies that pit Jesus and the Gospel against Moses and the Law and mistakenly as - sume that Jesus canceled the so-called ritual or ceremonial commandments. I hope that this promising work will reach the widest possible audience.” —Isaac W. Oliver, Bradley University
