The gospel promoted by Paul has for many generations stirred passionate debate. That gospel proclaimed equal salvific access to Jews and gentiles alike. But on what basis? In making sense of such a remarkable step forward in religious history, Jason Staples reexamines texts that have proven thoroughly resistant to easy comprehension. He traces Paul's inclusive theology to a hidden strand of thinking in the earlier story of Israel. Postexilic southern Judah, he argues, did not simply appropriate the identity of the fallen northern kingdom of Israel. Instead, Judah maintained a notion of 'Israel' as referring both to the north and the ongoing reality of a broad, pan-Israelite sensibility to which the descendants of both ancient kingdoms belonged. Paul's concomitant belief was that northern Israel's exile meant assimilation among the nations – effectively a people's death – and that its restoration paradoxically required gentile inclusion to resurrect a greater 'Israel' from the dead.

Editorial Reviews

Review

‘Staples urges his novel interpretation of Paul with energy, patience, and conviction - leavened periodically with both wit and humor. His work puts a challenge to most current Pauline scholarship of whatever persuasion. It is a fitting follow up to The Idea of Israel, in many ways Part II: Paul’s Idea of Israel. And it represents an original and bracing reading of Paul.’ Paul Fredrickson, Boston University

Book Description

Promotes an exciting new idea: Paul's gospel of Gentile inclusion is intrinsic to Israel's salvation promised in the Hebrew Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revolutionary and a must read for all scholars of the NT and Paul
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024
Verified Purchase
Staples has provided a new paradigm with which to read and understand Paul. In it, he contends that the inclusion of Gentiles into the NT people of God is the fulfillment of God's promises to restore "all Israel." The book is extremely thorough. Staples grapples with Second Temple Judaism and suggests that Paul was quite at home in this world. He argues that the restoration of Northern tribes (Israel) and Southern tribes (Judah) as promised by Jeremiah and Ezekiel, among others, and the promise of the Spirit who will circumcise their heart so that they may keep Torah is precisely what Paul envisions is happening in the NT ekklesia. All scholars of Paul and the NT need to wrestle with Staple's arguments. Perhaps a new paradigm for understanding Paul as well as the Jew/Gentile divide will be the result.

REMARKABLY THIS BOOK HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CHANGE THE MODERN WORLD. MOSTLY BY READING THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS OF DEUTERONOMY AND THE PROPHETIC BOOKS INTO THE BOOK OF ROMANS DR STAPLES CHALLENGES AT LEAST 1700 YEARS OF BIBLCAL INTERPRETATION. HE LEAVES NO STONE UNTURNED.
