Currents in the Interpretation of Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In his most recent collection of essays, Neil Elliott offers highly valuable insights from a wide range of scholarly approaches to Pauline studies from Marxist and Postcolonial readings to the Paul within Judaism perspective. The essays are beautifully tied together by the idea that our interpretation of Paul has much to do with how we understand our own history and responsibilities today, making it intensely relevant to a broad audience, not only one interested in Paul.”

Paul against the Nations

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With his insightful and meticulously argued political approach to the letter to the Romans, Elliot adds an important aspect to the ‘Paul within Judaism’ perspective. Challenging traditional Christian readings of Romans, Elliot persuasively argues that Paul in Romans aims to refute triumphalist supersessionist claims made by non-Jews within the early Jesus movement.”
