The topic of the election of Israel is one of the most
controversial and difficult subjects in the entire Bible. Modern
readers wonder why God would favor one specific people and why
Israel in particular was chosen. One of the most important and
theologically incisive voices on this topic has been that of Jon D.
Levenson. His careful, wide-ranging scholarship on the Hebrew Bible
and its theological reuse in later Judaic and Christian sources has
influenced a generation of Jewish and Christian thinkers. This
focused volume seeks to bring to a wide audience the ongoing rich
theological dialogue on the election of Israel. Writing from a
variety of disciplines and perspectives, the authors—Jews,
Catholics, and Protestants—contribute thought-provoking essays
spanning fields including the Hebrew Bible, apocryphal and
pseudepigraphic literature, New Testament, rabbinics, the history
of Christian exegesis, and modern theology. The resulting book not
only engages the lifelong work of Jon D. Levenson but also sheds
new light on a topic of great import to Judaism and Christianity
and to the ongoing dialogue between these faith traditions.
