This book is novel in its questioning of the adequacy of
interpreting Paul from the perspective of the Reformation and in
its application of sociological methods to the New Testament. 'In
the past few years or so Paul's theology, especially his
relationship to Judaism, has become a highly controversial topic in
NT studies. In this book Watson launches into that controversy with
one of the most important and adventurous contributions to date,
which is sure to spark off further controversies in its wake ...
that he has managed to produce strikingly novel but not wild or
idiosyncratic results is a measure of his rigorous methods of
argument' -- Themelios 'A timely contribution, offering a
reassessment of the New Testament texts behind the Reformation and
encouraging us to see them differently.' -- Theology 'A bold and
provocative thesis, presented clearly and readably.' -- Journal of
