According to a persistent popular stereotype, early Judaism is seen
as a "legalistic" religious tradition, in contrast to early
Christianity, which seeks to obviate and so to supersede, annul, or
abrogate Jewish law. Although scholars have known better since the
surge of interest in the question of the law in post-Holocaust
academic circles, the complex stances of both early Judaism and
early Christianity toward questions of law observance have resisted
easy resolution or sweeping generalizations. The essays in this
volume aim to bring to the fore the legalistic and antinomian
dimensions in both traditions, with a variety of contributions that
examine the formative centuries of these two great religions and
their legal traditions. They explore how law and lawlessness are in
tension throughout this early, formative period, and not finally
resolved in one direction or the other.
