From the Wisdom of Ben Sira to the writings of Paul, many Second
Temple Jewish and early Christian texts recognize the inescapable
role of testing and temptation in human experience. Though God is
often presented as one who tests, testing is also attributed to
Satan, Mastema, the people of God, and individual humans. How did
ancient interpreters react to texts that depict the God of Israel
as testing, tested, or intervening on behalf of those undergoing a
test? What assumptions do authors have about the role of testing in
human experience? How does the vocabulary used for testing and
temptation influence the meaning of the text? The essays in the
present volume constitute an opening foray into addressing these
questions, and this volume aims to catalyze further research into
additional dimensions of testing and overlooked motifs in the
relevant literature.
