The More Torah, The More Life: A Christian Commentary on Mishnah Avot
D. Joslyn-Siemiatkoski
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. The More
Torah, The More Life 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. The
More Torah, The More Life 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.
