Description: Paul and the Resurrection of Israel by Jason A. Staples A big book with a bold new idea: Pauls gospel with its inclusion of the Gentiles directly relates to the salvation of Israel promised in the Hebrew Bible. Providing a better understanding of the parting of the ways between Christianity and Judaism, the book boldly transforms understandings of Christian origins. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The gospel promoted by Paul has for many generations stirred passionate debate. That gospel proclaimed equal salvific access to Jews and gentiles alike. But on what basis? In making sense of such a remarkable step forward in religious history, Jason Staples reexamines texts that have proven thoroughly resistant to easy comprehension. He traces Pauls inclusive theology to a hidden strand of thinking in the earlier story of Israel. Postexilic southern Judah, he argues, did not simply appropriate the identity of the fallen northern kingdom of Israel. Instead, Judah maintained a notion of Israel as referring both to the north and the ongoing reality of a broad, pan-Israelite sensibility to which the descendants of both ancient kingdoms belonged. Pauls concomitant belief was that northern Israels exile meant assimilation among the nations – effectively a peoples death – and that its restoration paradoxically required gentile inclusion to resurrect a greater Israel from the dead. Author Biography Jason A. Staples is an assistant teaching professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at North Carolina State University. He is the author of The Idea of Israel in Second Temple Judaism (Cambridge University Press, 2021) and of numerous articles on the themes of ancient Judaism and early Christianity. Table of Contents Introduction: Jews, former Gentiles, Israelites; 1. The God of Jews only?; 2. Paul and the Israel problem; 3. The Israel problem and the Gentiles; 4. Salvation through justification: Jews and Gentiles alike; 5. Not My People: Israels infidelity and Gods fidelity; 6. Gods justice and the end of the Torah; 7. The mystery of Israels salvation; 8. The end of the matter. Review Staples urges his novel interpretation of Paul with energy, patience, and conviction - leavened periodically with both wit and humor. His work puts a challenge to most current Pauline scholarship of whatever persuasion. It is a fitting follow up to The Idea of Israel, in many ways Part II: Pauls Idea of Israel. And it represents an original and bracing reading of Paul. Paul Fredrickson, Boston University Promotional Promotes an exciting new idea: Pauls gospel of Gentile inclusion is intrinsic to Israels salvation promised in the Hebrew Bible.
