Tension Between God as Righteous Judge and as Merciful in Early Judaism

By Barry D. Smith

No Customer Reviews

In recent years, the scholarly consensus has emerged that early Judaism should no longer be classified as a religion of legalistic works-righteousness, but defined primarily by God's covenant with Israel. In this work, it is argued, instead, that there is actually a tension in early Judaism between God as righteous judge and as merciful.
