Description
viii, 103 pages; 22 cm
Summary
  • "In this book, two of the foremost New Testament scholars of our day explore the interface between Judaism and Christianity in the New Testament." "Writing in a broad and incisive manner, Martin Hengel (University of Tubingen) argues that Christianity grew entirely out of Jewish soil and that pagan influences in the New Testament were mediated through Hellenistic Judaism.".
  • "C. K. Barrett (University of Durham) focuses his study on the so-called apostolic council described in Galatians 2 and Acts 15. What is the gospel of Jesus Christ for Jews and what is it for the Gentiles of the Pauline mission?" "In a concluding section, the book's editor Donald A. Hagner (Fuller Theological Seminary) summarizes responses to Professors Hengel and Barrett by the seminary's New Testament department and proposes prospects for future discussion."--BOOK JACKET.
