Description
Paul and Judaism at the End of History offers a fresh interpretation of the Apostle Paul’s writings and his complex relationship with Judaism. Matthew V. Novenson argues that Paul’s theology must be understood within an eschatological framework, where his vision of the end of history fundamentally shapes his approach to Jewish law and covenant.
Rather than viewing Paul as rejecting Judaism outright, Novenson demonstrates how Paul’s perspective on the completion of history transforms his understanding of Jewish identity and practice. This work engages with contemporary Pauline scholarship while drawing on historical-critical methods and theological analysis.
By situating Paul within first-century Jewish thought and apocalyptic expectations, the author provides nuanced insights into how early Christians navigated their relationship with Judaism. This book is essential for scholars, theologians, and students seeking to understand Paul’s complex legacy and the origins of Christian-Jewish relations.
