A Jew to the Jews
A Jew to the Jews: Jewish Contours of Pauline Flexibility in 1 Corinthians 9:19–23. Second Edition | David Rudolph
1 post | 1 read
David J. Rudolph raises new questions about Paul's view of the Torah and Jewish identity in this post-supersessionist interpretation of 1 Corinthians 9:19-23. Paul's principle of accommodation is considered in light of the diversity of Second Temple Judaism and Jesus' example and rule of accommodation.

Though a heady read for a "layman", this book excellently vindicates Paul from the traditional interpretation of 1 Corinthians 9. Paul was a Torah observant Jew and remained as such with each group. An excellent addition to the growing body of new Pauline studies.

BookDadGirlDad @mobill76 A large portion of modern Christianity use this particular passage to paint Paul as a chameleon or hypocrite. They say this section of verses means that he would violate Torah for the sake of Gentiles but follow it in the presence of Jewish brethren. That's very unflattering to one of the greatest theological minds ever...Paul 7d
