Paul's gentile mission, however, represented only one strand of the Christ movement but has been universalized to signify the whole. The consequence of this view of Paul is that the earliest diversity in which he operated and which he affirmed has been anachronistically diminished almost to the point of obliteration. There is little recognition of the Jewish form of Christianity and that Paul by and large related positively to it as evidenced in Romans 14-15. Here Paul acknowledges Jewish identity as an abiding reality rather than as a temporary and weak form of faith in Christ. This book argues that diversity in Christ was fundamental to Paul and that particularly in his ethical guidance this received recognition. Paul's relation to Judaism is best understood not as a reaction to his former faith but as a transformation resulting from his vision of Christ. In this the past is not obliterated but transformed and thus continuity is maintained so that the identity of Christianity is neither that of a new religion nor of a Jesus cult. In Christ the past is reconfigured and thus the diversity of humanity continues within the church, which can celebrate the richness of differing identities under the Lordship of Christ."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of New Testament studies ;$v322. 410 0$aT & T Clark library of biblical studies. 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xJudaism 606 $aGentiles in the New Testament 606 $aJews in the New Testament 606 $aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $2Biblical studies & exegesis 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xJudaism. 615 0$aGentiles in the New Testament. 615 0$aJews in the New Testament. 615 0$aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity. 676 $a227/.06 700 $aCampbell$b William S.$096337 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789684003321 996 $aPaul and the creation of Christian identity$93835253 997 $aUNINA
