内容説明

Throughout the Christian era, Paul has stood at the centre of controversy, accused of being the father of Christian anti-Semitism. But have we misunderstood the man and his teachings for 2000 years? This study challenges this entrenched view of Paul, arguing persuasively that Paul's words have been taken out of their original context, distorted and generally misconstrued. The author takes us in search of the "real" Paul, using Paul's own writings. Through an exhaustive analysis of Paul's letters to the Galatians and the Romans, he provides illuminating answers to the key questions: Did Paul repudiate the Law of Moses? Did he believe that Jews had been rejected by God and replaced as the chosen people by Gentiles? Did he consider circumcision to be necessary for salvation? And did he expect Jews to find salvation through Jesus? To all these questions, John Gager answers no. First, he puts Paul's proselytizing in context. Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles, not the Jews.
