Synopsis
Excerpt from The Law of Love in the Old and New Testaments
Is it a fact that Judaism in pre-christian times taught that love to man was strictly limited to the Hebrew people? Is it true that before the ministry of Jesus the Jew hated his enemy? If the writers quoted had only given chapter and verse for their statements it would be possible to test the validity of their conclusions. They all agree in making similar assertions, but all signally fail to give the slightest justification for their opinions. To assert that Jewish ethics are narrow, or to deny that Judaism teaches universal morality, is tantamount to saying that its religious system is merely in a state of development. It reached, so we are told, its consummation in the new revelation contained in the Gospels.
We are all agreed that a religion must be finally judged by the value it sets on God and man. If a religion is found to be narrow, it will be justly rejected as lacking perfection. Duties to God and to man must be free from all limitations. The question which now confronts us is what did Judaism teach as to man's duty to God, and also as to his duty to his neighbour, prior to the New Testament period.

The Law of Love in the Old and New Testaments (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a journey through the historical development of the concept of ethical love, focusing particularly on Jewish thought and practice. The author meticulously examines primary sources, starting with the Old Testament and continuing through the New Testament and a wide range of Jewish literature. They trace the evolution of the Jewish concept of love, arguing that it has always been understood as extending beyond the boundaries of the Jewish people to encompass all of humanity. The book challenges the common perception that Judaism is a narrow and exclusive religion, and instead presents a compelling case for its universalistic and compassionate ethical teachings. The author's deep analysis and comprehensive research provide fresh insights into the origins and development of the ethic of love, making this book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, ethics, or Jewish thought.
