According to a persistent popular stereotype, early Judaism is seen as a “legalistic” religious tradition, in contrast to early Christianity, which seeks to obviate and so to supersede, annul, or abrogate Jewish law. The essays in this volume aim to bring to the fore the legalistic and antinomian dimensions in both traditions, with a variety of contributions that examine the formative centuries of these two great religions and their legal traditions. Contributors:Michal Bar-Asher Segal, Paul Bradshaw, Lutz Doering, Steven Fraade, Paula Fredriksen, Joshua Garroway, David Lincicum, Grant Macaskill, David Moffitt, Michael Peppard, Christopher Rowland
