This book examines the concept of 'zeal' in three Pauline texts
(Rom 10:2; Gal 1:14; Phil 3:6) as a way-in to discussion of the
'New Perspective' on Paul. The concept of zeal has been discussed
in a sustained way by James D. G. Dunn, who argues that Paul was
drawing on a long and venerable tradition of Jewish zeal for the
nation of Israel, that is, a concern to maintain Israel's
distinction from the surrounding nations by defending and
reinforcing its boundaries. Ortlund interacts with Dunn, agreeing
that this concern for distinctiveness was a crucial, and neglected,
concern of Paul's before his conversion. Nevertheless, Ortlund
contends that Dunn has presented an overly narrow understanding of
Pauline zeal that does not sufficiently locate zeal in the broader
picture of general obedience to Torah in Jewish tradition. As such,
Ortlund shows in this work that zeal refers most immediately to
general obedience to Torah - including, but not to be centrally
circumscribed as, ethnic distinction.
