A Radical Jew Paul and the Politics of Identity
Boyarin, Daniel
A Radical Jew Paul and the Politics of Identity Daniel Boyarin - U.S.A University of California Press 1994 - 366tr. Paperback, Illustration 23 cm
Paul's famous formulation, ""There is neither Jew nor Greek, no male and female in Christ,"" demonstrates the genius of Christianity: its concern for all people. The genius of Judaism is its validation of genealogy and cultural, ethnic difference. But the evils of these two thought systems are the obverse of their geniuses: Christianity has threatened to coerce universality, while ethnic difference is one of the most troubled issues in modern history.
