Description: A unique analysis of Paul's Christology, Soteriology and Eschatology from a Jewish perspective.
Review Quotes: As a Jew who admits he must reject Paul's positive religious faith, Schoeps achieves an amazing degree of that 'objectivity' from which standpoint he believes the non-Christian can elucidate the theology and evaluate the significance of Paul for Christian faith. In the concluding chapter, he not only endeavours sympathetically to do justice to Paul's place in the history of Christian thought; he even suggests ways in which Judaism may learn from Paul's critique of his Jewish heritage.--Franklin W. Young "Theology Today, January 1964"
