For biblical authors and readers, law and restoration are central
concepts in the Bible, but they were not always so. To trace out
the formation of those biblical concepts as elements in defensive
strategies, Cataldo uses as conversational starting points theories
from Zizek, Foucault and Deleuze, all of whom emphasize relation
and difference. This work argues that the more modern assumption
that biblical authors wrote their texts presupposing a central
importance for those concepts is backwards. On the contrary, law
and restoration were made central only through and after the
writing of the biblical texts - in particular, those that were
concerned with protecting the community from threats to its
identity as the "remnant". Modern Bible readers, Cataldo argues,
must renegotiate how they understand law and restoration and come
to terms with them as concepts that emerged out of more selfish
concerns of a community on the margins of imperial political power.
