Book Synopsis
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.
