The More Torah, The More Life

Mishnah Avot is a collection of wisdom sayings from the sages who
comprised the earliest generations of rabbinic leadership. Over the
centuries, Jews have studied and reflected on Mishnah Avot, seeing in it
a guide to the development of wisdom revealed in Torah. <i>The More
Torah, The More Life</i> offers a commentary on Mishnah Avot and the
teachings of later Jewish scholars who commented upon it. Using the
musical metaphor of resonance, this book shows how a Christian
theological engagement with rabbinic literature yields new questions
concerning the nature of Jesus Christ, the relationship between Israel
and the Church, and the significance of Torah for Christians. <i>The
More Torah, The More Life</i> offers new direction in the development of
non-supersessionist Christian theology while also advancing engagement
with Judaism as an area of concern in Christian thought and practice.
