Paul and history -- The emergence of a paradigm -- The formation of the standard view of Paul -- Toward a new perspective on Paul -- Beyond the new perspective -- In defense of Protestantism -- Breaking boundaries -- Conclusion : history and Paul.

What are scholars saying about Paul and the Roman Empire or about the intersection between feminist and postcolonial interpretation of Paul? Magnus Zetterholm provides a clear and reliable guide to these and other lively issues in the contemporary study of Paul, surveying the history of the principal perspectives on Paul's relation to Judaism and the Jewish law and showing the relationships between answers given to those questions and the assumptions scholars bring to other issues as well. This is an indispensable handbook for the beginning student of the apostle and his thought
