Paul, the Law, and the Jewish People

Very laborious read but seminal work on the New Perspective on Paul. Almost wish I had skipped the textual discussions and just read the conclusions. Almost.

NO OF PAGES: 227 SUB CAT I: Paul SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: This book is devoted both to the problem of Paul's view of the law as a whole, and to his thought about the relation to his fellow Jews. Building upon his previous study, the critically acclaimed Paul and Palestinian Judaism, E.P. Sanders explores Paul's Jewishness by concentrating on his overall relationship to Jewish tradition and thought. Sanders addresses such topics as Paul's use of scripture, the degree to which he was a practicing Jew during his career as apostle to the Gentiles, and his thoughts about his "kin by race" who did not accept Jesus as the Messiah. In short, Paul's thoughts about the law and his own people are re-examined with new awareness and show more great care.NOTES: SUBTITLE: show less
