Description - Paul’S Three Paths to Salvation by Gabriele Boccaccini
&;We no longer need to separate Paul from Judaism in order to claim his Christianness,&; writes Gabriele Boccaccini, adding, &;nor do we need to separate him from the early Jesus movement in order to state his Jewishness.&; With this guiding principle Boccaccini unpacks the implications of Paul&;s &;belonging&; simultaneously to Judaism and Christianity to arrive at the surprising and provocative conclusion that there are in fact three means of salvation:
For Jews, adherence to Torah.
For gentiles, good works according to conscience and natural law.
For all sinners, forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul&;s Three Paths to Salvation is an attempt to reconcile the many facets of Paul&;s complex identity while reclaiming him from accusations of intolerance, and Boccaccini&;s work in reestablishing the figure of Paul as a messenger of God&;s Mercy to the sinners is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about Paul&;s place in the contemporary pluralistic world.
