Receptions of Paul during the First Two Centuries: Exploration of
the Jewish Matrix of Early Christianity examines the historical
context of Paul and the way Paul’s Jewish heritage was received.
Contributors take into consideration the aftermath of the Jewish
War and its impact on the development of the Jesus movement and
early Christian-Jewish relations in the following period. The
chapters come to the conclusion that after the Jewish War, the
reception of the authentic Paul was transformed more and more into
the tradition about Paul, based and established by the second and
third generations of Jesus-believing Gentiles, which perceived Paul
as a convert from what is labeled “Judaism”
(Ἰουδαϊσμός) to the complete opposite of it,
“Christianity” (Χριστιανισμός).
Noting that a traditional understanding of Paul as "convert" from
Judaism has fueled false and often dangerous stereotypes of
Judaism, and that the so-called "new perspective on Paul" has not
completely escaped these stereotypes, Frantisek Abel has gathered
leading international scholars to test the hypotheses of the more
recent "Paul within Judaism" movement. Though hardly monolithic in
their approach, these scholars' explorations of specific topics
concerning Second Temple Judaism and Paul's message and theology
allow a more contextually nuanced understanding of the apostle's
thought, one free from particular biases rooted in unacknowledged
ideologies and traditional interpretations transmitted by
particular church traditions. Contributors include Frantisek Abel,
Michael Bachmann, Daniel Boyarin, William S. Campbell, Kathy
Ehrensperger, Paula Fredriksen, Joerg Frey, Joshua Garroway,
Karl-Wilhelm Niebuhr, Isaac W. Oliver, Shayna Sheinfeld, and J.
Brian Tucker.
This book provides various perspectives of leading contemporary
scholars concerning Paul's message, particularly his expressed
expectation of the end-time redemption of Israel and its relation
to the Gentiles, the non-Jewish nations, in the context of Jewish
eschatological expectation. The contributors engage the
increasingly contentious enigmas relating to Paul's Jewishness: had
his perception of living in a new era in Christ and anticipating an
imminent final consummation moved him beyond the bounds of what his
contemporaries would have considered Judaism, or did Paul continue
to think and act "within Judaism"?
The structural mechanics of proteins that fold into functional
shapes, polymers that aggregate and form clusters, and organic
macromolecules that bind to inorganic matter can only be understood
through statistical physics and thermodynamics. This book reviews
the statistical mechanics concepts and tools necessary for the
study of structure formation processes in macromolecular systems
that are essentially influenced by finite-size and surface effects.
Readers are introduced to molecular modeling approaches, advanced
Monte Carlo simulation techniques, and systematic statistical
analyses of numerical data. Applications to folding, aggregation,
and substrate adsorption processes of polymers and proteins are
discussed in great detail. Particular emphasis is placed on the
reduction of complexity by coarse-grained modeling, which allows
for the efficient, systematic investigation of structural phases
and transitions. Providing insight into modern research at this
interface between physics, chemistry, biology, and nanotechnology,
this book is an excellent reference for graduate students and
researchers.

Several modern interpretations of Paul's letter to the Galatians
claim to uncover an underlying attitude of anti-Judaism. Michael
Bachmann refutes those claims with his own detailed exegesis and
astute examination of comparative material from the religious
environment of that day, revealing instead how Paul embraces both
Jews and Gentiles. Bachmann holds that, in the determination of
meaning, the literary context of Galatians should be considered
over historical background. / Nonetheless, he does engage parallels
in Qumran material and archaeology as secondary methods to confirm
his exegetical arguments. Through his rigorous examination,
Bachmann shows that Galatians exhibits evidence of anti-Judaism not
in itself, but only in its reception. / Rich in scholarship and
sound exegesis, Anti-Judaism in Galatians? is an ideal text for
scholars and students seeking the whole truth about Paul.
