Summary: | The Library of New Testament Studies (LNTS) is a premier book series that offers cutting-edge work for a readership of scholars, teachers in the field of New Testament studies, postgraduate students and advanced undergraduates. All the many and diverse aspects of New Testament study are represented and promoted, including innovative work from historical perspectives, studies using social-scientific and literary theory, and developing theological, cultural and contextual approaches The New Perspective on Paul' cleared the Judaism contemporary to Paul of the accusation that it was a religion based on works of righteousness. Reactions to the New Perspective, both positive and critical, and sometimes even strongly negative, reflect a more fundamental problem in the reception of this paradigm: the question of continuity and discontinuity between Judaism and Christianity and its assumed implications for Jewish-Christian dialogue. A second key problem revolves around Paul's understanding of salvation as exclusive, inclusive or pluralist This volume brings together contributions by scholars who specialize in biblical exegesis, systematic theology, theological ethics and Jewish-Christian dialogue. It contains essays by Michael Bachmann, Michael F. Bird, Thomas R Blanton, William S. Campbell, Philip A. Cunningham, Hans-Herman Henrix, Mark D. Nanos, John T. Pawlikowski and Hans-Joachim Sander as well as a joint contribution by Reimund Bieringer and Didier Pollefeyt. The book is concluded with an epilogue by James D.G. Dunn. Within the matrix of continuity and discontinuity on the one hand (the historical dimension) and exclusivism, inclusivism and pluralism on the other (the soteriological dimension), a variety of positions is possible. Seen from the perspective of this historical-soteriological axis eight different positions can be distinguished among the chapters of this book. Book jacket This volume presents contributions from leading European scholars, considering Paul and his Jewish contet and considering the implications for contemporary Jewish-Christian dialogue |
