| ==Abstract==
| |
| | |
| "A major study of the apostle to the Gentiles, combining exceptional scholarship with an unusual approach that interprets Paulis theology in the light of his Jewish background, an influence that inevitably coloured and conditioned his Christological teaching."--Publisher description.
| |
| | |
| "Schoeps provides a comprehensive study on Paul, focusing on Paul's teaching about eschatology, soteriology, law, and saving-history. Schoeps appreciates the imprint of mystery cults upon Paul's thinking, but believes the best way to understand Paul is by looking at his Hellenized Jewish Diasporic context. Scheops also takes into consideration Paul's "Palestinian-Judaic" background, arguing that Paul employed rabbinic hermeneutics in his exegesis of Hebrew Scriptures. In addition, Schoeps stresses appreciating the eschatological outlook of Paul in order to understand elements of his teaching such as his "doctrine" on "justification by faith." For Schoeps, Paul has seriously misunderstood the biblical and Jewish understanding of law and covenant, distorting its meaning so as to create an anti-thesis between faith and law.
| |
| While seeking to analysis Paul as an impartial historian, Schoeps also reviews Paul's reception and interpretation throughout the centuries, whether by Christian or Jewish readers, advocating for a contemporary appreciation of Paul which allows for Jews and Christians to accept the argument of two covenants, those of Sinai and Golgotha, both equally valid but separate in the mind of God who turned to Israel at Sinai and to the nations at Golgotha.'''--Isaac W. Oliver'''
