Book Synopsis Paul the Jew by : Gabriele Boccaccini
Download or read book Paul the Jew written by Gabriele Boccaccini and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decades-long effort to understand the apostle Paul within his Jewish context is now firmly established in scholarship on early Judaism, as well as on Paul. The latest fruit of sustained analysis appears in the essays gathered here, from leading international scholars who take account of the latest investigations into the scope and variety present in Second Temple Judaism. Contributors address broad historical and theological questions—Paul’s thought and practice in relationship with early Jewish apocalypticism, messianism, attitudes toward life under the Roman Empire, appeal to Scripture, the Law, inclusion of Gentiles, the nature of salvation, and the rise of Gentile-Christian supersessionism—as well as questions about interpretation itself, including the extent and direction of a “paradigm shift” in Pauline studies and the evaluation of the Pauline legacy. Paul the Jew goes as far as any effort has gone to restore the apostle to his own historical, cultural, and theological context, and with persuasive results.
Book Synopsis Paul the Jewish Theologian by : Brad H. Young
Download or read book Paul the Jewish Theologian written by Brad H. Young and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 1995-09-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul the Jewish Theologian reveals Saul of Tarsus as a man who, though rejected in the synagogue, never truly left Judaism. Author Young disagrees with long held notions that Hellenism was the context which most influenced Paul's communication of the Gospel. This skewed notion has led to widely divergent interpretations of Paul's writings. Only in rightly aligning Paul as rooted in his Jewishness and training as a Pharisee can he be correctly interpreted. Young asserts that Paul's view of the Torah was always positive, and he separates Jesus' mission among the Jews from Paul's call to the Gentiles.
Download or read book A Radical Jew written by Daniel Boyarin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1994-10-14 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Boyarin turns to the Epistles of Paul as the spiritual autobiography of a first-century Jewish cultural critic. What led Paul—in his dramatic conversion to Christianity—to such a radical critique of Jewish culture? Paul's famous formulation, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, no male and female in Christ," demonstrates the genius of Christianity: its concern for all people. The genius of Judaism is its validation of genealogy and cultural, ethnic difference. But the evils of these two thought systems are the obverse of their geniuses: Christianity has threatened to coerce universality, while ethnic difference is one of the most troubled issues in modern history. Boyarin posits a "diaspora identity" as a way to negotiate the pitfalls inherent in either position. Jewishness disrupts categories of identity because it is not national, genealogical, or even religious, but all of these, in dialectical tension with one another. It is analogous with gender: gender identity makes us different in some ways but not in others. An exploration of these tensions in the Pauline corpus, argues Boyarin, will lead us to a richer appreciation of our own cultural quandaries as male and female, gay and straight, Jew and Palestinian—and as human beings.
Book Synopsis Paul, the Law, and the Jewish People by : E. P. Sanders
Download or read book Paul, the Law, and the Jewish People written by E. P. Sanders and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted both to the problem of Paul's view of the law as a whole, and to his thought about and 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 great care. Sanders addresses an important chapter in the history of the emergence of Christianity. Paul's role in that development -- specially in light of Galatians and Romans -- is now re-evaluated in a major way. This book is in fact a significant contribution to the study of the emergent normative self-definition in Judaism and Christianity during the first centuries of the common era.

Book excerpt: This volume, Paul: Jew, Greek, and Roman, explores a number of the important and diverse cultural, ethnic and religious dimensions of the complex background of Paul the Apostle.

Book Synopsis Paul, a New Covenant Jew by : Brant Pitre
Download or read book Paul, a New Covenant Jew written by Brant Pitre and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the landmark work of E. P. Sanders, the task of rightly accounting for Paul's relationship to Judaism has dominated the last forty years of Pauline scholarship. Pitre, Barber, and Kincaid argue that Paul is best viewed as a new covenant Jew, a designation that allows the apostle to be fully Jewish, yet in a manner centered on the person and work of Jesus the Messiah. This new covenant Judaism provides the key that unlocks the door to many of the difficult aspects of Pauline theology. Paul, a New Covenant Jew is a rigorous, yet accessible overview of Pauline theology intended for ecumenical audiences. In particular, it aims to be the most useful and up to date text on Paul for Catholic Seminarians. The book engages the best recent scholarship on Paul from both Protestant and Catholic interpreters and serves as a launching point for ongoing Protestant-Catholic dialogue.
Book Synopsis Paul within Judaism by : Mark D. Nanos
Download or read book Paul within Judaism written by Mark D. Nanos and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these chapters, a group of renowned international scholars seek to describe Paul and his work from “within Judaism,” rather than on the assumption, still current after thirty years of the “New Perspective,” that in practice Paul left behind aspects of Jewish living after his discovery of Jesus as Christ (Messiah). After an introduction that surveys recent study of Paul and highlights the centrality of questions about Paul’s Judaism, chapters explore the implications of reading Paul’s instructions as aimed at Christ-following non-Jews, teaching them how to live in ways consistent with Judaism while remaining non-Jews. The contributors take different methodological points of departure: historical, ideological-critical, gender-critical, and empire-critical, and examine issues of terminology and of interfaith relations. Surprising common ground among the contributors presents a coherent alternative to the “New Perspective.” The volume concludes with a critical evaluation of the Paul within Judaism perspective by Terence L. Donaldson, a well-known voice representative of the best insights of the New Perspective.
Book Synopsis Paul’s Gentile-Jews by : J. Garroway
Download or read book Paul’s Gentile-Jews written by J. Garroway and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-11-09 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon the concepts of cultural and linguistic hybridity developed by Homi Bhabha, Salman Rushdie, Mikhail Bakhtin, and others, Garroway suggests that the first generation of Gentile converts were uncertain whether they had become Jews or remained Gentiles in the wake of their baptism into Christ.
Book Synopsis Jew Among Jews by : Kimberly Ambrose
Download or read book Jew Among Jews written by Kimberly Ambrose and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misunderstanding of Paul had started already in his lifetime, and his letters offer many examples of this. Throughout the centuries, Paul has continued to be misunderstood by both Jews and Gentiles, especially in relation to his view of the law and the covenant. Paul has often been misunderstood because his form of argument, his use of Scripture, his view of Jews and Gentiles in Christ (especially of those Jews who were not convinced that Jesus was Messiah), and his view of what constitutes true Judaism do not seem to conform to our expectations and perceptions of the apostle. We have been accustomed to read his letters as of one who was emancipating people from Judaism, as one who sought to obliterate all ethnic and other distinctions rather than maintaining the identity of Jews and Gentiles even in Christ. By building on some of the insights of the New Perspective, and developing other more recent insights as well, a more consistent and credible Paul as a first-century Diaspora Jew organizing a mission to Gentiles will be presented.
Book Synopsis Paul, Judaism, and the Gentiles by : Francis Watson

Book Synopsis Paul Was Not a Christian by : Pamela Eisenbaum
Download or read book Paul Was Not a Christian written by Pamela Eisenbaum and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-11-19 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pamela Eisenbaum, an expert on early Christianity, reveals the true nature of the historical Paul in Paul Was Not a Christian. She explores the idea of Paul not as the founder of a new Christian religion, but as a devout Jew who believed Jesus was the Christ who would unite Jews and Gentiles and fulfill God’s universal plan for humanity. Eisenbaum’s work in Paul Was Not a Christian will have a profound impact on the way many Christians approach evangelism and how to better follow Jesus’s—and Paul’s—teachings on how to live faithfully today.
Book Synopsis Paul and Palestinian Judaism by : E. P. Sanders
Download or read book Paul and Palestinian Judaism written by E. P. Sanders and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark work, which has shaped a generation of scholarship, compares the apostle Paul with contemporary Judaism, both understood on their own terms. E. P. Sanders proposes a methodology for comparing similar but distinct religious patterns, demolishes a flawed view of rabbinic Judaism still prevalent in much New Testament scholarship, and argues for a distinct understanding of the apostle and of the consequences of his conversion. A new foreword by Mark A. Chancey outlines Sanders‘s achievement, reviews the principal criticisms raised against it, and describes the legacy he leaves future interpreters.
Download or read book A Former Jew written by Love L. Sechrest and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sechrest describes Pauline Christianity as a nascent ancient racial group, drawing on a Jewish understanding of race in Second Temple Judaism. With analysis of nearly five thousand Jewish and non-Jewish passages about identity from around the turn of the era, the models presented describe ancient Greek and Jewish ethnic and racial identity. Further, these models become resources for examining the racial character of Paul's self-identity and the continuities and discontinuities between the three races in his social world: Jews, Gentiles, and Christians. Using historical and literary methods of exegesis for passages in the Pauline corpus, Sechrest describes Paul as someone who was born a Jew, but who later saw himself as a member of a different race. Analyzing Christian identity in Galatians in terms of membership criteria, membership indicia, and inter-group dynamics, a final section of the book contrasts the portrait of Paul that emerges from this study with those in Daniel Boyarin's A Radical Jew: Paul and the Politics of Identity and Brad Braxton's No Longer Slaves: Galatians and African American Experience. This section engages all three of these descriptions of community and identity, and illuminates the problems and opportunities contained in a modern appropriation of a racial construction of Christian identity.
Download or read book Paul written by Paula Fredriksen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking new portrait of the apostle Paul, from one of today’s leading historians of antiquity Often seen as the author of timeless Christian theology, Paul himself heatedly maintained that he lived and worked in history’s closing hours. His letters propel his readers into two ancient worlds, one Jewish, one pagan. The first was incandescent with apocalyptic hopes, expecting God through his messiah to fulfill his ancient promises of redemption to Israel. The second teemed with ancient actors, not only human but also divine: angry superhuman forces, jealous demons, and hostile cosmic gods. Both worlds are Paul’s, and his convictions about the first shaped his actions in the second. Only by situating Paul within this charged social context of gods and humans, pagans and Jews, cities, synagogues, and competing Christ-following assemblies can we begin to understand his mission and message. This original and provocative book offers a dramatically new perspective on one of history’s seminal figures.
Book Synopsis Either Jew Or Gentile by : Eung Chun Park
Download or read book Either Jew Or Gentile written by Eung Chun Park and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Eung Chun Park reconstructs a focused and coherent narrative of the last two decades of the life of Paul as it revolved around the Gentile mission. The result is a detailed and thorough analysis of the Pauline letters that demonstrates how Paul's theology changed over the course of his life as a consequence of his struggle to defend the gospel against the attacks from people who advocated a different kind of gospel. This book traces the development of the two gospels (one that advocated freedom from circumcision and one that advocated observance of circumcision) as they encountered such landmark events as the Apostolic Council in Jerusalem, the Antioch incident, the Galatian incident, the Corinthian incident, and Paul's last visit to Jerusalem.
Book Synopsis The Early Reception of Paul the Second Temple Jew by : Isaac W. Oliver
Download or read book The Early Reception of Paul the Second Temple Jew written by Isaac W. Oliver and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul's relationship to Christianity-as a Pharisaic Jew whose moment of revelation on the road to Damascus has made him the most famous early Christian-is still a topic of great interest to scholars of early Christianity and Judaism. This collection of essays from world-renowned scholars examines how Christians of the first two centuries perceived Paul's Jewishness, and how they seized upon Paul's views on Judaism in order to advance their own claims about Christianity. The contributors offer a comprehensive examination of various early Christian views on Paul, in texts contained both in and outside of the New Testament, demonstrating how the reception of Paul's thought affected the formation of Judaism and Christianity into separate entities. Divided into five sections, the arguments focus upon Paul's reception in Ephesians, the other Deutero-Pauline Epistles, the Acts of the Apostles, Marcion of Synope and the reaction of Paul's opponents. Featuring essays from scholars including Judith Lieu, James H. Charlesworth and Harry O. Meier, this volume forms a perfect resource for scholars to reassess Paul's Jewishness and relationship with Judaism.
Book Synopsis The So-Called Jew in Paul's Letter to the Romans by : Rafael Rodriguez
Download or read book The So-Called Jew in Paul's Letter to the Romans written by Rafael Rodriguez and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades ago, Werner G. Kummel described the historical problem of Romans as its “double character”: concerned with issues of Torah and the destiny of Israel, the letter is explicitly addressed not to Jews but to Gentiles. At stake in the numerous answers given to that question is nothing less than the purpose of Paul’s most important letter. In The So-Called Jew in Romans, nine Pauline scholars focus their attention on the rhetoric of diatribe and characterization in the opening argumentation that figure appears or is implied. Each component of Paul’s argument is closely examined with particular attention to the theological problems that arise in each. In addition to the editors, chapters of the letter, asking what Paul means by the “so-called Jew” in Romans 2 and where else in the letter’s contributors are Runar M. Thorsteinsson, Magnus Zetterholm, Joshua D. Garroway, Matthew V. Novenson, and Michele Murraywith a response by Joshua W. Jipp.
