About the Book

The texts of the New Testament have long been understood to require interpretation in the light of the Hebrew Bible, Qumran and other postbiblical literary and documentary sources. Conversely, they provide an invaluable source for the reconstruction of halakhah in the late Second Commonwealth period. These essays illustrate the complexity of the inter-relationships, and the methodological issues which arise: the “legal” content of the texts cannot be separated from the intertextualities of Jewish theology. The topics cover letter and spirit, prophecy and law, forgiveness, the accounts of Jesus’ “trial(s)”, the evidence required for legal and theological claims, shepherding images, disinheritance (the prodigal son), marriage and divorce.

Review :
Bernard Jackson, a leading voice in the study of Jewish law in comparative context, presents a stimulating study of value to scholars of both Judaism and Christianity. [...] meaningful methodological contributions to the study of ancient law and literature in comparative context. J.'s attempt to understand difficult NT tests thruogh the prims of what he calls interpretation hebraica coupled with his substantive legal analyses make this book a significant contribution Jonathan S. Milgram, The Jewish Theological Seminary, New York, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly 73, 2011 'the book is illuminating and helpful where it addresses halakhically relevant questions in the 'real' world like law suits, trials, marriage and divorce. [...] A comprehensive bibliography covering all chapters and several indices allows quick consultaton of specific points of interest.' Roland Deines, University of Nottingham, Journal of Jewish Studies Volume 61, (2010)
