A Theology of Justice in Exodus: Siphrut
Autor Nathan Billsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 oct 2020
Adopting a synchronic, text-immanent interpretive strategy that focuses on canonical and inner-biblical connections, Nathan Bills identifies two overlapping motifs that illuminate the theme of justice in Exodus. First, Bills considers the importance of Israel's creation traditions for grounding Exodus's theology of justice. Reading Exodus against the backdrop of creation theology and as a continuation of the plot of Genesis, Bills shows that the ethical disposition of justice imprinted on Israel in Exodus is an application of yhwh's creational agenda of justice. Second, Bills identifies an educational agenda woven throughout the text. The narrative gives heightened attention to the way yhwh catechizes Israel in what it means to be the particular beneficiary and creational emissary of yhwh's justice. These interpretative lenses of creation theology and pedagogy help to explain why Israel's salvation and shaping embody a programmatic applicability of yhwh's justice for the wider world.
This volume will be of substantial interest to divinity students and religious professionals interested in the themes of exodus, exile, and return.
