This comprehensive study offers a detailed examination of Paul's theology within the context of Second Temple Judaism and the Greco-Roman world. It presents Paul's thought as a coherent and radical reconfiguration of Jewish beliefs, centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. The study argues that Paul's theology is best understood as a narrative of God's faithfulness to His covenant, fulfilled through Jesus the Messiah, leading to the formation of a new, inclusive covenant community. It emphasizes that Paul's message is not a departure from Judaism but a transformation of it, rooted in the belief that God's promises to Israel are realized in the Messiah and extended to all nations. This work contributes significantly to Pauline studies by offering a holistic view of Paul's theology, integrating historical context, scriptural exegesis, and theological reflection. It invites readers to reconsider traditional interpretations and to appreciate the depth and coherence of Paul's vision for the people of God. Show less
