Eine Durchsicht der Belege zum Themenkomplex Sodom (in Ez 16) ergibt, daß nach jüdischer Interpretation die Verurteilung Sodoms auf seiner sozialen Rücksichtslosigkeit und Arroganz beruhte, während in christlicher Auslegung dieser konkret gesellschaftspolitische Aspekt in den Hintergrund tritt. Die rabbinische Literatur kann somit als Korrektiv der typologisch und oft antijudaistisch argumentierenden frühen christlichen Exegese angesehen werden.
