This book adds an important aspect to Pauline and Judaic research. Interest in Paul's relationship to Judaism is growing recently, but it had not yet resulted in a comparison between his practical instruction and the ancient halakha or Jewish traditional law. This is a first endeavour, which integrates both sympathy and erudition vis-à-vis the two religious traditions. The outcome is a surprise: halakha was basic to Paul's instruction for non-Jewish Christians. A first-rate document is First Corinthians. Historical and theological implications are vast, both regarding Paul's relationship to Judaism, his attitude towards Jesus and his Apostles, and the meaning of his teaching concerning justification and the Law. The book includes thorough discussion of hermeneutic and methodical implications, always viewed in relation to the history of Pauline and Judaic study. Attention is being paid to the setting within Hellenistic culture. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the texture of Paul's thought and these are applied to two 'theological' passages decisive for his place in Judaism. Dr. Peter J. Tomson (1948) studied theology and rabbinics in Amsterdam and Jerusalem. Besides work in Dutch Reformed ministry, teaching and publishing, he was the executive editor of two volumes in Section II of the Compendia.
