Overview

The relationship between Paul and Torah is often discussed in terms of Paul’s theology of salvation. However, it is also important in Pauline ethics. While some scholars dismiss this because of a paucity of Old Testament quotations in Paul, others hint at the consensus between Paul and early Jewish tradition concerning the content of single commands. Each of these positions holds consequences for describing the relationship between Paul and Judaism in general. In order to clarify the discussion, the contributors to this volume distinguish strictly between various levels of Pauline theology: the correspondence of single demands within Pauline and early Jewish ethics, the rationale of these single demands, and the general hermeneutical basis of ethics. This is done in the context of essays on the key Pauline passages pertaining to the debate. As such, this volume presents an up-to-date window into the current debate surrounding Paul, Torah, and Ethics and into the state of discussion surrounding Paul’s place within Judaism.
