metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article analyzes the current state of research on Paul the Apostle and the reconstruction
  of and the reconstruction of certain plots in the history of early Christianity. In the midtwentieth
  century, almost all Pauline scholars saw Paul as a Jewish apostate who had realized
  the flaws of Judaism, especially the flaws inherent in Torah observance. Ever since Sanders’s
  pioneering work, the role of Second Temple Judaism became an important dimension of work
  on Paul’s letters. Even though Sanders’ reconstruction of ancient Second Temple Judaism was
  radical, his interpretation of Paul was not, even though the traditional anti-Jewish aspects
  were significantly downplayed. Based on Sanders ‘New perspective on Paul’ it involved many
  new insights, especially the idea that Paul did not repudiate the Torah as such, but only Jewish
  identity markers. The combination of Sanders’s reconstruction of ancient Judaism and the
  focus on Paul as the Apostle to Gentiles has led to a new research paradigm of ‘Paul within
  Judaism’. Paul was Torah observant and he had never broken with Judaism. Paul argued that
  Gentiles should not observe the Torah the way Jews did. Paul’s vision was to bring Gentiles
  into a covenantal relationship with the god of Israel, through Jesus, which indeed called for
  a significant change of behaviour but did not change their ethnic status. Paul’s critique of the
  Torah is explained by assuming that he addressed Gentiles members of the Jesus movement
  who probably wanted to observe all of the Torah.
