Opis

Paul and the Gentile Problem provides a new explanation for the apostle Paul's statements about the Jewish law. Instead of understanding his arguments against circumcision to be criticisms of Judaism or the law, this book makes the case that Paul meant to oppose gentile judaizing.

Recenzje

This book poses a noteworthy challenge to traditional construals of the apostle's theology. The chapters are sequenced to build on one another ... this is a volume that deserves widespread attention.
