The More Torah, The More Life: A Christian Commentary on Mishnah Avot

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.
