Paul: Thessalonica and Early Christianity

By Dr. Karl Donfried

Concentrating on major Pauline themes and on Thessalonians in their cultural and religious context, this book explores other major issues, especially with reference to chronology and Judaism. The question of Paul's Jewishness is raised. In connection with this discussion of Paul and Judaism, a number of challenges are examined to the so-called "New Perspective on Paul". It concludes that a closer study of the Dead Sea Scrolls raises serious questions about the interpretation of Judaism and Paul, as well as opening new perspectives.
