Description - Paul--A Jew on the Margins by Calvin J. Roetzel
Paul's messianism put him at the margins of Pharisaiam, his preaching placed him in tension with the Synagogue, and his Gospel set him on the outer border of Hellenistic religion. This book explores the tensions and creativity that Paul's marginality let loose. In six short chapters, Roetzel explains complex relationships to first century Judaism and elements of the early church. In doing so, he tackles a great many of the most disputed areas of Pauline theology: How can we speak of Paul as a convert? How far did Paul accept the apocalyptic myth? And how could Paul preach that Gentiles shared in God's election without excluding Jews.
