Jews, Gentiles and Ethnic Reconciliation: Paul's Jewish identity and Ephesians (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series) [Hardcover]

Tet-Lim N. Yee (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 4, 2005 | ISBN-10: 0521838312 | ISBN-13: 978-0521838313

Exhaustive recent scholarship has focused on Paul's insistence that Gentiles be granted equal status with the Jews as members of the people of God. Tet-Lim Yee's study of Ephesians 2 reveals how the distinctively Jewish world view underlies this key text and he highlight's the reconciling work of Christ for both Jew and Gentile. His study represents an important contribution to the continuing reassessment of Christian and Jewish interaction during the critical period of the latter decades of the first century CE.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"[Yee's] work constitutes a vitally important engagement with Ephesians, which future scholarship on the letter simply cannot ignore."
Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

Book Description

Much recent scholarship has focused on Paul's insistence on Gentile membership of the people of God equally with Jews. Dr Yee's study of Ephesians 2 reveals how the distinctively Jewish world view of the author of Ephesians underlies this key text as he sets out to highlight the reconciling work of Christ for both Jew and Gentile. This book provides an important contribution to the continuing reassessment of Christian and Jewish self-understanding in regard to each other during the critical period of the latter decades of the first century CE.
