Recent scholarship on Second Temple Judaism and Paul has maintained
that both held salvation to be through God's grace alone, not human
obedience. In this study, Jason Maston argues against this trend by
demonstrating the spectrum of perspectives available during the
Second Temple period regarding the interaction of divine and human
actions. Using Josephus' depiction of the Jewish schools as the
starting point, he argues that ancient Jews were discussing the
issue of divine and human agency and that they were putting forward
alternative and even contradictory perspectives. These different
viewpoints are shown in Sirach and the Hodayot. Into this spectrum
of opinions, the Apostle Paul is situated through an analysis of
Romans 7-8. The author challenges the idea that all of Judaism can
be explained under a single view of salvation. Recognising the
diversity allows one to situate Paul firmly within a Jewish context
without distorting either the Jewish texts or Paul.
