Description

Explore the complex relationship between Old Testament law and the teachings of Jesus in this scholarly work by James Davis. In Matthew 5:38-42, Jesus provides a command that appears to override the traditional Lex Talionis law, known as 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' This book investigates how these instructions relate to the talionic commands found in the Old Testament and how they fit into the context of New Testament era Judaism. By examining foundational texts such as Leviticus 24, Exodus 22, and Deuteronomy 19, the author examines the argument that the Lex Talionis law was understood to have a literal application in its original setting. This study helps readers understand what Jesus required from his disciples and the church regarding these commands. As part of the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement (The Library of New Testament Studies), this volume provides a deep look into biblical law and Christian exhortation.
