Ṣedaqa and Torah in Postexilic Discourse

Susanne Gillmayr-Bucher, Maria Häusl (Hg.), Ṣedaqa and Torah in postexilic Discourse, The Library of Hebrew Bible / Old Testament Studies Series 640, New York u.a. 2017 ISBN: 9780567673558

The chapters in this volume clarify crucial aspects of Torah by exploring its relationship to sedaqa (righteousness). Observing the Torah is often considered to be the main identity-marker of Israel in the post-exilic period. However, sedaqa is also widely used as a force of group cohesion and as a resource for ethics without references to torah. The contributors to this volume explore these crucial themes for the post-exilic period, and show how they are related in the key texts that feature them.
