Jesus, in defending his actions in healing the lame man at the pool of Bethzatha (Bethesda), makes a comparison that is simple enough on the surface: Jesus? activity finds its basis in the Father?s current activity; thus, Jesus is not legally or spiritually culpable for breaking the Sabbath. What creates the enigma is the assumption that lies beneath the argument: the Father is working, and even more importantly, he is working on the Sabbath. Investigation of this assumption is the purpose of this book.Burer contributes to the discussion surrounding Jesus? Sabbath activity by augmenting current research on Sabbath work, which focuses primarily on rabbinic rules and interpretation of Torah. Burer tests the hypothesis that Jesus? actions on the Sabbath are best understood in light of the concept of divine Sabbath work and that in light of this concept Jesus? actions imply a claim to deity or a close association with God?s divine plan and work. Burer does this by searching the Hebrew Scriptures, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, Josephus, Philo, the Mishnah and Tosefta, the targums, the midrashim, the Palestinian Talmud, and the Babylonian Talmud in order to unearth a conceptual and cultural framework for divine Sabbath work. The results are then used in analyzing two prominent stories of Jesus? work of healing on the Sabbath in the New Testament to prove, disprove, or modify his working hypothesis.New Testament students and scholars will find Divine Sabbath Work to be a thought-provoking, enticing, creative approach to old questions. 410 0$aBulletin for biblical research supplements ;$v5. 606 $aWork$xBiblical teaching 606 $aSabbath$xBiblical teaching 606 $aGod$xBiblical teaching 615 0$aWork$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aSabbath$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aGod$xBiblical teaching. 676 $a263/.1 700 $aBurer$b Michael H$0629678 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807390403321 996 $aDivine Sabbath Work$94054220 997 $aUNINA
