Walking in Their Sandals

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Cromhout has written an absolutely essential book in which he connects central topics of the New Perspective on Paul with insights about their social and cultural background within the ancient Mediterranean world. Based on a complex and well argued socio-cultural model of Israelite ethnic identity, the book deepens our understanding of Pauline concepts like 'works of the law,' 'faith/belief,' 'righteousness,' etc., and traces them back to their contemporary discourses.”
