A Jew to the Jews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In David Rudolph's capable hands the Apostle Paul comes to life as a Torah-observant Jew, not only in the Book of Acts but also in the letters of Paul. Advocates and critics of this perspective will profit not only from Rudolph's patient critique of the prevailing interpretation of 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 but also from the remarkably fruitful interaction with Jewish sources that characterizes his own exegesis. Highly recommended for everyone interested in situating Paul in (relation to) Judaism and reassessing their image(s) of the Paul of the letters and the Paul of Acts.”

Jesus, the Temple, and Early Christian Memory

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Distinguished by its engaging style and judicious selection of dialogue partners, Scott Brevard’s excellent book demonstrates how a nuanced analysis of social memory theory and Jewish attitudes to the Jerusalem temple can sharpen our grasp of how the early Christians remembered Jesus and the temple—and why they did so in the ways they did.”
