Explores the relationship between the Mosaic law and early Christian ethics

In this volume thirteen respected scholars explore the relationship between the Mosaic law and early Christian ethics, examining early Christian appropriation of the Torah and looking at ways in which the law continued to serve as an ethical reference point for Christ-believers — whether or not they thought Torah observance was essential.

These noteworthy essays compare differences in interpretation and application of the law between Christians and non-Christian Jews; investigate ways in which Torah-inspired ethical practices helped Christ-believing communities articulate their distinct identities and social responsibilities; and look at how presentations of the law in early Christian literature might inform Christian social and ethical practices today.

Posing a unified set of questions to a diverse range of texts, Torah Ethics and Early Christian Identity will stimulate new thinking about a complex phenomenon commonly overlooked by scholars and church leaders alike.

Review

Brian S. Rosner
— Ridley College
"The question of the relationship between the early Christians and the law of Moses is notoriously complex. Does Christ replace the law? And if he does, in what sense does the law serve as a positive reference point for believers in Christ? Specifically, does the Mosaic law provide a moral compass for the early Christians? Torah Ethics and Early Christian Identity tackles these questions in a remarkably comprehensive manner, taking careful note of the relevant background in early Judaism as well as the development of New Testament ideas in selected church fathers. An incisive treatment of a matter that is of considerable historical, theological, and ethical importance."

John W. Martens is a professor of theology at the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn,where he teaches early Christianity and Judaism. He also directs the Master of Arts in Theology program at the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity. He was born in Vancouver, B.C. into a Mennonite family that had decided to confront modernity in an urban setting. His post-secondary education began at Tabor College, Hillsboro, Kansas, came to an abrupt stop, then started again at Vancouver Community College, where his interest in Judaism and Christianity in the earliest centuries emerged. He then studied at St. Michael's College, University of Toronto, and McMaster University, with stops at University of Haifa and University of Tubingen. His writing often explores the intersection of Jewish, Christian and Greco-Roman culture and belief, such as in "let the little children come to me: Children and Childhood in Early Christianity" (Washington, D.C.: The Catholic University of America Press, 2009), but he is not beyond jumping into the intersection of modernity and ancient religion, as in "The End of the World: The Apocalyptic Imagination in Film and Television" (Winnipeg: J. Gordon Shillingford Press, 2003). His newest book is The Gospel of Mark: A Complete Online Bible Junkies Commentary, available at redmaplepress.ca. He blogs at www.biblejunkies.com and writes "The Word" column for America, available in print or at www.americamagazine.org, where he also blogs at "The Good Word." You can follow him on Twitter @biblejunkies, where he would be excited to welcome you to his random interests, which range from the Vancouver Canucks and Minnesota Timberwolves, to his dog, and 70s punk, pop and rock. When he can, he brings students to Greece, Turkey and Rome to explore the artifacts and landscape of the ancient world. He lives in St. Paul with his wife and has two sons. He is certain that the world will not end until the Vancouver Canucks have won the Stanley Cup.
