Paul’s jewish identity
Abstract
During the last 30 or 40 years, a growing number of Jewish interpreters has been ready to acknowledge the basically Jewish character of Paul's background and teaching and to reintegrate the temporarily 'lost son' back home into their common Jewish heritage. It is most important that the tendency for rediscovering and reevaluating Paul's Jewish identity is also shared by a growing number of Christian (or non-Jewish) scholars. Christian exegetes attempting at better understanding of Paul's Jewishness now fruitfully consider the suggestions made by Jewish historians of religion, not only regarding the interpretation of the relevant Jewish sources but also regarding their view of Paul's language and thought. Paul's Jewish identity is visible in the peculiar manner in which he struggles with the most important identity markers of contemporary Judaism, law and circumcision.Keywords: circumcision; Judaism; Paul's Jewish identity

“Paul's former identity as a Pharisee “according to the law” 4 is a “loss” to his life in Christ, even if that formation guided his thinking vis-a-vis Torah observance and other matters (Frey 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
