A Jewish Paul The Messiah’s Herald to the Gentiles Matthew Thiessen
This accessible introduction to Paul situates him clearly within first-century Judaism.
“Scrupulous in its fairness to Judaism and immensely helpful in correcting noxious Christian misrepresentations of it, this readable and engaging little book succeeds remarkably in locating Paul, the Christian apostle to the gentiles, within the Judaism in which he was formed and which he never thought he had altogether left. Both Christians and Jews have much to gain from reading A Jewish Paul . Highly recommended!” —JON D. LEVENSON, Harvard University “A compelling argument, sure to hold the attention of seasoned scholars while providing uninitiated readers a clear introduction to this important debate.” —PAMELA EISENBAUM, Iliff School of Theology
Matthew Thiessen (PhD, Duke University) is associate professor of religious studies at McMaster University and author of Jesus and the Forces of Death .

Galatians Kathryn Greene-McCreight BRAZOS THEOLOGICAL COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLE R. R. Reno, general editor; Robert W. Jenson † , Robert Louis Wilken, Ephraim Radner, Michael Root, and George Sumner, series editors
Kathryn Greene-McCreight offers a theological reading of Galatians.
“Greene-McCreight offers a fresh reading of Galatians. Her engagement with a broad range of theological interpretation, both ancient and modern, is impres- sive. Here is a rich compendium of resources for the theological interpretation of Paul’s provocative letter.” —SUSAN EASTMAN, Duke Divinity School “Greene-McCreight adds a rich and important contribution to the Brazos series. The approach is linguistically careful, responsibly resourced by a range of Christian and Jewish scholarship, and steeped in the (especially patristic) tradition of the church. The result is pointed and provocative in fundamental ways.” —EPHRAIM RADNER, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto
