Summary

"If law alone yields legalism, then religious belief, by itself, fails to create justice. In Performing Israel's Faith, Jacob Neusner shows how Jewish Halakhah (law) and Aggadah (narrative) fit together to form a robust and coherent covenant theology - one directly concerned about this world. Neusner's careful and thorough examination of several key issues within rabbinic Judaism - the nations, idolatry, sin, repentance, and atonement - demonstrates that neither Halakhah nor Aggadah can be fully and rightly understood in isolation from each other. Performing Israel's Faith thus effectively reveals that rabbinic Judaism's true pattern of religion constitutes a covenant theology comprised by both law and story - a covenant theology whose aim was to restore the sanctification of God's original creation."--BOOK JACKET.
