Abstract

In the article "Human-Divine Interactions in the Hebrew Scriptures: Covenants and Cross-Purposes," Berel Dov Lerner explores the ways divine and human obligations are presented in the Hebrew Bible. Lerner argues that humans and God can have differing yet justified moral positions. The book engages with philosophical ideas around obligation and offers readings of biblical texts to explore divine-human interactions, focusing on the disparity between divine and human behavior. The structure of the book includes chapters that delve into various instances of human participation in God's plans and purposes, emphasizing the complexity of these interactions throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.
