NO OF PAGES: 277 SUB CAT I: Paul SUB CAT II: Law & Grace SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: This book "gathers into a coherent whole the work in progress by Professor Dunn on a currently much disputed topic, the law in early Christianity…The topic is a lively one." Here is a mater New Testament scholar's decade of research-along with new material-on a major issue on the study of Christian origins. Extended international debate has been concerned with this question: What were the attitudes toward Jewish law within early Christianity? Dunn has worked extensively within that debate in both Pauline and Markan studies. The introduction to this book maps out his journey. The first three chapters deal with Mark and Jesus. Chapters 4 through 9 deal with Paul's letter to the Galatians. In Dunn's view, material in Mark provides a bridge between Jesus and Paul in their approaches to the Jewish law.NOTES: Purchased from CBD SUBTITLE: Studies in Mark and Galatians
