In recent years, scholars from both Christian and Jewish
backgrounds have tried to rethink the relationship between earliest
Christianity and its Jewish milieu; and Paul has emerged as a
central figure in this debate. Francis Watson contributes to this
scholarly discussion by seeing Paul and his Jewish contemporaries
as, above all, readers of scripture. However different the
conclusions they draw, they all endeavour to make sense of the same
normative scriptural texts - in the belief that, as they interpret
the scriptural texts, the texts will themselves interpret and
illuminate the world of contemporary experience. In that sense,
Paul and his contemporaries are standing on common ground. Far from
relativizing their differences, however, it is this common ground
that makes such differences possible. In this new edition Watson
provides a comprehensive new introduction entitled 'A Response to
My Critics' in which he directly engages with the critics of the
previous edition. There is a substantial new Preface and two new
Appendices, and the text has been fully revised throughout.
