A Jewish Paul: The Messiah's Herald to the Gentiles

A Jewish Paul: The Messiah's Herald to the Gentiles is an insightful and accessible introduction to the apostle Paul's relationship with Judaism.

Thiessen argues that Paul did not reject Judaism or the Jewish law but believed he was living in the last days, when Israel's Messiah would deliver the nations from sin and death. Paul saw himself as an envoy to the nations, desiring to introduce them to the Messiah and his life-giving, life-transforming Spirit.
