Paul Among Jews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"As the apostle to the Gentiles, Paul is often characterized as anti-Jewish. In this seminal narrative-critical analysis of the model sermon of Paul in Pisidian Antioch composed by the author of Acts, Wenxi Zhang shows how Paul emphasized the Jewish concept of the resurrection of the Davidic Messiah. Although Paul announces that he will turn to the Gentiles, he continues to go first to preach in Jewish synagogues as a missionary to the Jews among the Gentiles.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Lafferty shows that Amos and Isaiah seek neither mere social justice nor an abolition of the cult but a reprioritization of interpersonal activities in favor of justice and righteousness. This is a major original contribution to scholarship.”
