The role and function of law in religious communities in the Roman
period—especially in Judaism—has been a key issue among scholars in recent
years. This thought-provoking work is the first full-scale attempt to write a
historical assessment of the scholarly debate concerning this question,
focussing on two closely related religious communities, Judaism and
Christianity. By juxtaposing the two religions, a clearer understanding of the
developments with respect to _torah_ and _nomos_ in Judaism and early
Christianity emerges.
This insightful work, placing emphasis on the major figures and both the
scholarly lines of development and the appropriate lines for future research,
will set the debate in a clearer and more and succinct manner. It will serve
as a critical point of reference for further discussion.
