Útdráttur (á ensku): 

Jewish law is the stone that Christian theologians have long rejected. They find their warrant in the letters of Paul. Through Paul, especially via Luther, law has served as the opposite of “grace” and “faith;” indeed, as the defining difference between Judaism and Christianity. What happens if we think of Jewish law not as a category of Christian theology, but as an element of ancient kinship construction, “ancestral custom” (Galatians 1.14)? We will see how Paul’s address to ethnic others determines what he says about Jewish practice. We will see how Jewish law provides, not the contrast to Paul’s gospel, but much of its content. We will see how Paul’s gospel rejects not Jewish law, but gentile gods. And we will gain new answers to old questions about the way that Christ’s spirit, for Paul, effects human redemption.

Um Paula Fredriksen (á ensku):

Paula Fredriksen, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, is Aurelio Professor of Scripture emerita at Boston University and Distinguished Visiting Professor emerita in the Department of Comparative Religions at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which awarded her an honorary doctorate in 2018. She has published widely on the social and intellectual history of ancient Christianity, and on pagan-Jewish Christian relations in the Roman Empire. Her two recent studies, Paul: The Pagans’ Apostle (2017), and When Christians Were Jews (2018), place the Jesus movement’s Jewish messianic message within the wider world of ancient Mediterranean culture, politics, and power.
