Non-Retaliation in Early Jewish and New Testament Texts : Ethical Themes in Social Contexts Hardback
by Gordon Zerbe
Part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections: Biblical Studies series
Hardback
Description
This study examines the varieties and continuities of ethical exhortations and ideals in the Jewish and Christian traditions (c. 200 BCE-100 CE) that fall under the rubric of non-retaliation.
One of the principal conclusions of this thought-provoking work is that a critical factor in determining the shape of non-retaliatory ethics is whether the exhortation is applied to relations within the local and/or elect community or to relations with oppressors of the elect community.
It becomes apparent also that the non-retaliatory ethic of the NT stands solidly in the tradition of non-retaliatory ethics in Early Judaism.
