Overview
How do the chosen and non-chosen interact? And what might these texts teach us about God's intentions for the world? Book jacket.Synopsis
The Bible's affirmation of Israel's divine election is often ignored or even repudiated by contemporary Christians and Jews who are scandalized by the possibility that God might favor one person or group over another. Beginning with the stories of family rivalry in Genesis and working through a host of other biblical texts, Joel Kaminsky explores the dynamics of election: Why does God favor certain people? How do the chosen and non-chosen interact? And what might these texts teach us about God's intentions for the world? Book jacket.Book Details
