The place of the Law and its relationship to religious observance
and faith is a contested topic in the study of both the Old and New
Testament. In Law and Religion, members of the Erhardt Seminar
group provide an insight into the debate, probing key topics and
offering new contributions to the subject. Their essays are grouped
into three sections, focussing in turn on the Law's place in
Israelite religion, in the Jesus tradition, and in Paul and the
Apostolic tradition. Thus, the foundation of the connection between
law and religion in ancient Israel is explored, along with the
decisive influence of the Deuteronomic reform and the radical new
understanding now emerging of the later development in Judaism of
the New Testament Period. So, also, the contemporary challenge to
the conventional picture of Jesus and the Law is addressed, the
attitude of Paul is shown in new light, and post-Pauline
developments are examined. Readers will find in this symposium a
refreshing breadth of opinion on a debate that spans the gamut of
disciplines within Biblical studies.
