Daniel M. Gurtner is Associate Professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary, St Paul, USA. Among his publications are The Torn Veil: Matthew's Exposition of the Death of Jesus (SNTSMS 139; 2007).

'Soteriology' in this volume serves as shorthand for the state of well being that is the goal of life. The contributors are a distinguished selection of older and younger scholars, including some of the most prominent names in the field. The essays emphasize the diversity of 'soteriologies' in the literature of Second Temple Judaism. They provide a fascinating window on the theological diversity of Judaism in the era in which Christianity was born.
