In this collection of a decade's worth of essays, Novenson puts contextual understandings of Paul's letters into conversation with their Christian reception history. After a new, programmatic introductory essay that frames the other eleven essays, Novenson explores topics including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe relation between theology and historical criticism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe place of Jews and gentiles in Paul's gospel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul's relation to Judaism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe relevance of messianism to Paul's Christology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul's eschatology in relation to ancient Jewish eschatologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe aptness of monotheism as a category for understanding antiquity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe reception of Paul by diverse early Christian writers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe peculiar place of Protestantism in the modern study of Paul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe debate over the recent Paul-within-Judaism movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eanti-Judaism in modern New Testament scholarship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edisputes over Romans and Galatians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe meta-question of what it would mean to get Paul right or wrong \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngaging with numerous schools of thought in Pauline studies--Augustinian, Lutheran, New Perspective, apocalyptic, Paul-within-Judaism, religious studies, and more--while also rising above partisan disputes between schools, Novenson illuminates the ancient Mediterranean context of Paul's letters, their complicated afterlives in the history of interpretation, and the hermeneutical struggle to make sense of it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew V.
