Jesus Meets Moses
The sources examine Jesus's relationship with the Law of Moses and early Jewish contemporaries through the lens of restoration eschatology. This perspective argues that Jesus's understanding of the Law was driven by the imminent divine restoration of Israel. Jesus practiced a form of eschatological nomism, intensifying the Law's requirements beyond mere external compliance to include internal attitudes, such as those related to murder, adultery, and divorce found in the Sermon on the Mount. He taught that true obedience prioritized mercy and love above rigid ritual or sacrificial demands.
