The legacy of Pauline scholarship, from ancient to modern, is
characterised by a surfeit of unsettled, conflicting conclusions
that often fail to interpret Paul in relation to his Jewish roots.
William S. Campbell takes a stand against this paradigm,
emphasising continuity between Judaism and the Christ-movement in
Paul's letters. Campbell focusses on important themes, such as
diversity, identity and reconciliation, as the basic components of
transformation in Christ. The stance from which Paul theologises is
one that recognises and underpins social and cultural diversity and
includes the correlating demand that because difference is integral
to the Christ-movement, the enmity associated with difference
cannot be tolerated. Thus, reconciliation emerges as a fundamental
value in the Christ-movement. Reconciliation, in this sense,
respects and does not negate the particularities of the identity of
Jews and those from the nations. In this paradigm, transformation
implies the re-evaluation of all things in Christ, whether of
Jewish or gentile origin.
