The Apostle Paul in the Jewish Imagination is a pioneering
multidisciplinary examination of Jewish perspectives on Paul of
Tarsus. Here, the views of individual Jewish theologians, religious
leaders, and biblical scholars of the last 150 years, together with
artistic, literary, philosophical, and psychoanalytical approaches,
are set alongside popular cultural attitudes. Few Jews,
historically speaking, have engaged with the first-century Apostle
to the Gentiles. The modern period has witnessed a burgeoning
interest in this topic, however, with treatments reflecting
profound concerns about the nature of Jewish authenticity and the
developing intercourse between Jews and Christians. In exploring
these issues, Jewish commentators have presented Paul in a number
of apparently contradictory ways. Among other things, he is both a
bridge and a barrier to interfaith harmony; both the founder of
Christianity and a convert to it; both an anti-Jewish apostate and
a fellow traveler on the path to Jewish self-understanding; and
both the chief architect of the religious foundations of Western
thought and its destroyer. The Apostle Paul in the Jewish
Imagination represents an important contribution to Jewish cultural
studies and to the study of Jewish-Christian relations.
