Jesus and the Law of Moses

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Exhibiting remarkable mastery of ancient Jewish literature and legal discourse from the Hebrew Bible to the rabbis, Sloan presents a captivating analysis of Jesus’s view of Law observance for the sake of Israel’s restoration. While affirming Jesus’s broader commitment to Torah observance, Sloan’s innovative concept of ‘eschatological nomism’ uncovers the profound legal reasonings Jesus applied as he pursued his eschatological mission within the boundaries of ancient Judaism.”
