In this revisionist account of Paul’s work, Alan Segal argues that Paul’s life can be better understood by taking his Jewishness seriously, and that Jewish history can be illuminated greatly by examining Paul’s writings. By reading Paul from the viewpoint of the religion he left behind, Segal sheds new light on the man who played a critical role in both Judaism and Christianity. ""Segal’s new book challenges Jewish and Christian scholars alike to take a fresh look at this well-educated man.""―The Washington Post Book World UR - https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15385/159.jpg ER -
