A comprehension of Paul's understanding of the law and justification has been a perennial problem for historians and theologians. The need for further clarity has given rise to this collection of essays by an international list of esteemed scholars who seek; in the first of two volumes; to illuminate the complexities of the Judaism of Jesus' (and Paul's) day. Was it a legalistic religion that taught one could be justified before God by obeying law? Was it even one religion; or was it a collection of traditions with some similarities and many dissimilarities?A second volume is forthcoming which will further this discussion among scholars through an evaluation of the paradoxes of Paul.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. NEED TIME to be set apart to studyBy BKF: Law18commonsenseThis should be a required reading for all who claim to Pastor a Church. It also should be read by anyone who claims Jesus Christ as LORD. Too many Christians FORGET that the first CHURCH was started by JEWS and too many are taught; yes TAUGHT to hate the beloved. AS the creator calls them;.." HIS first born SON; ISRAEL." If we know not our past roots; we shall be blown about with silly silly doctrine of MAN; not the LOVE of JESUS.
