We're Really Jews
21st Century Reformation has a great post exploring the Jewish context of the Apostle Paul's teachings. I really agree with Brad on this one.
I get more and more bothered as Christian thought moves farther and farther away from Jewish thought. I have always found it marvelous that Jesus saved His condemnation primarily for the Jewsih authority of the time. I am of the opinion that Jesus was more of a reformer than He was a remaker. That does not mean He just came for the Jews, rather, it means that He came to fix what the Jews were doing wrong, and to make the blessing the Jews enjoyed available to the world.
Thanks Brad!
