Exhaustive recent scholarship has focused on Paul''s insistence that Gentiles be granted equal status with the Jews as members of the people of God. Tet-Lim Yee''s study of Ephesians 2 reveals how the distinctively Jewish world view underlies this key text and he highlight''s the reconciling work of Christ for both Jew and Gentile. His study represents an important contribution to the continuing reassessment of Christian and Jewish interaction during the critical period of the latter decades of the first century CE.
