This book is devoted both to the problem of Paul's view of the law
as a whole, and to his thought about and relation to his fellow
Jews. Building upon his previous study, the critically acclaimed
Paul and Palestinian Judaism, E.P. Sanders explores Paul's
Jewishness by concentrating on his overall relationship to Jewish
tradition and thought. Sanders addresses such topics as Paul's use
of scripture, the degree to which he was a practicing Jew during
his career as apostle to the Gentiles, and his thoughts about his
"kin by race" who did not accept Jesus as the messiah. In short,
Paul's thoughts about the law and his own people are re-examined
with new awareness and great care. Sanders addresses an important
chapter in the history of the emergence of Christianity. Paul's
role in that development -- specially in light of Galatians and
Romans -- is now re-evaluated in a major way. This book is in fact
a significant contribution to the study of the emergent normative
self-definition in Judaism and Christianity during the first
centuries of the common era.
