Mount Sinai and Zion
 |
Description
Book Introduction
John D.
Levenson is a Jewish biblical scholar who serves as a leading voice in the dialogue between Christianity and Judaism.
In this book, Levenson opens our eyes to a Jewish reading of the Bible that embraces its diversity. Unlike traditional Christian biblical theologians who seek a single, unifying thread within the Bible, Levenson follows the Jewish tradition by embracing the text's own diverse voices.
This is because I believe that since the Bible itself contains various voices, lumping them all together would inevitably distort the text.
In this book, the author unfolds Old Testament theology around two axes: Mount Sinai and Zion, that is, the Law and the Temple.
Mount Sinai is a code of duty and commitment for the people of Israel in their covenant relationship with God.
Zion represents the eternal promise God made to one man, David, in return for his faithfulness.
This book emphasizes that the Old Testament must be viewed within the context of the tension between duty to God and God's promises or grace, through Mount Sinai and Zion.
Because if you focus on just one thing, you lose the balance.
