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.
