“Remain in Your Calling”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“J. Brian Tucker has produced an impressive study in one of the most important and exiting areas of Pauline scholarship: the construction of Christian identity. Tucker's suggestion that Paul transforms, rather than creates, existing social identities without obliterating the original ones is highly convincing and moves the discussion significantly forward. This is an indispensable work for scholars of early Christianity and foundational for students of the formation of the early Christ movement.”

A Jew to the Jews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Traditionally, 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 has been one of the key texts for proving that Paul refuted Judaism and converted to Christianity. David Rudolph's masterful analysis of the passage shows, however, that it is fully possible to understand Paul from a completely Jewish perspective, allowing for a fully Jewish, even Torah-observant, Paul. This highly persuasive study is an important breakthrough in the process of creating a paradigm shift within Pauline studies, resulting in a historically more accurate picture of the Apostle.”

Paul the Jew under Roman Rule

“Neil Elliott is known as one of the most prominent interpreters of the apostle Paul, and his research has been of extraordinary importance for the emergence and development of the so-called Paul-within-Judaism perspective. This collection of state-of-the-art articles and essays is an excellent example of this. This is a must-read for pastors, students, and fellow scholars.”
