Paul the Jewish Theologian – A Pharisee among Christians Jews and Gentiles

Paul the Jewish Theologian reveals Saul of Tarsus as a man who though rejected in the synagogue never truly left Judaism. Author Young disagrees with long held notions that Hellenism was the context which most influenced Pauls communication of the Gospel. This skewed notion has led to widely divergent interpretations of Pauls writings. Only in rightly aligning Paul as rooted in his Jewishness and training as a Pharisee can he be correctly interpreted. Young asserts that Pauls view of the Torah was always positive and he separates Jesus mission among the Jews from Pauls call to the Gentiles.
