A popular guide to the Pauline texts relevant to Christian understanding of Judaism, and to the major scholarly debates surrounding them. An examination of the historical context of Paul and an exegesis of the seven undisputed scriptural letters attributed to him. The author discusses Paul's complex attempt to clarify the relationships between Jews, Jewish-Christians, and Gentiles as well as the relationships of members of those groups to God and to Jesus. Harrington notes the 'mixed reviews' which Paul gave to Israel in Romans 9-11 and draws the connection between Paul's theology and the content of Nostra aetate n.4.
