Runesson, Judaism for Gentiles (Mohr Siebeck, open access)

NEW BOOK FROM MOHR SIEBECK: Anders Runesson. Judaism for Gentiles. Reading Paul beyond the Parting of the Ways Paradigm. Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament (WUNT I) 494.

For clergy, scholar, and lay person, Paul's letters hold weight and continue to draw in new readers. In this collection of essays, Anders Runesson listens to the voice of the historical Paul - a Jew proclaiming a form of Judaism to non-Jews to save them from divine wrath - but also probes what it means to breathe new life into this historical figure in the twenty-first century.
