Matthew V Novenson Orden de los libros

The study delves into the complex identity of the apostle Paul, highlighting his Jewish roots alongside his radical Christian ideas, which sometimes appear anti-Jewish. Matthew Novenson examines Paul's unique interpretation of time, particularly his view of the end of history as a present reality rather than a future event, revealing the intricate layers of his thought and its implications for understanding his role in early Christianity.

"A collection of a decade's worth of essays in which Matthew Novenson puts contextual understandings of Paul's letters into conversation with their Christian reception history"-- Provided by publisher

In this book, Novenson gives a revisionist account of messianism in antiquity. He shows that, for the ancient Jews and Christians who used the term, a messiah was not an article of faith but a manner of speaking: a scriptural figure of speech useful for thinking kinds of political order.
