Paul and Rabbinic Judaism: Some Rabbinic Elements in Pauline...

This study examines the extent to which Paul's theology is connected to what later became Rabbinic Judaism, challenging the notion that his thought was primarily influenced by Hellenistic culture. It explores how Paul's concepts, such as the Torah, righteousness, and eschatology, reflect a deep engagement with Pharisaic traditions. By analyzing parallels between Paul's writings and Rabbinic literature, the work highlights the continuity between early Christian and Jewish thought, suggesting that Paul's teachings are best understood within the context of first-century Judaism.
