Jesus Paul and the Law: Studies in Mark and Galatians

Drawing upon ten years of research experience the master scholar James D. G. Dunn presents a book on a major issue in the study of Christian origins: what were the attitudes toward Jewish law within earliest Christianity? This volume not only gathers the authors significant contributions to date but also includes new material. Divided into nine parts it is set in the wider context of a living dialogue and debate. The introduction maps out Dunns extensive work in Pauline and Markan studies. The final chapter The Theology of Galatians serves as a summary of Dunns current position on Paul and the law and brings the volume to a convincing conclusion.
