Author: TOMSON, PETER
Title: Paul and the Jewish law. Halakha in the letters of the Apostle to the Gentiles (Compendia Rerum Judaicarum ad Novum Testamentum, Section 3, vol. 1).
Description: Assen / Minneapolis, Van Gorcum - Fortress Press, 1990. XIX, 327 pp. Handwritten name and date on fep. Else clean and very good. Hardcover. New Testament. While interest in Paul's relationship to Judaism has been growing recently, this study adds an important aspect by comparing Paul's practical instruction with the ancient halakha or Jewish traditional law. First Corinthians is found to be a source of prime importance, and surprisingly, halakha appears to be basic to Paul's instruction for non-Jewish Christians. The book includes thorough discussion of hermeneutic and methodological implications, always viewed in relation to the history of Pauline and Judaic study. Attention is also being paid to the setting within Hellenistic culture. ISBN: 9789023224907
