Paul and the Torah (1987) is a book by Lloyd Gaston.
Abstract
In thought provoking and experimental fashion, Gaston goes against the common Christian exegetical tradition which argues that Paul abrogated the Torah and attacked Judaism. Instead, Gaston offers a fresh study on Paul, proposing that the apostle never fought against Judaism or Israel but that his message was solely addressed to Gentiles. Gaston thinks that Paul's message comes close to the two covenant theology of certain modern thinkers such as Rosenzweig, insisting that for Paul there was a righteousness made available to the Gentiles through the faithfulness of Christ, while the righteousness from the covenantal Torah continued to remain valid for Israel. What Paul held against his Jewish contemporaries was that they refused to recognize the eschatological age which had been ushered in by Christ which allowed for Gentiles to share in the same benefits of election as Israelites without having to observe the Torah. --Isaac W. Oliver
