Anvil (U.K.)
"Bound to become a standard text." Biblical Interpretation
"A valuable contribution to an important subject." Booklist
"Even readers who are not convinced by Wenham's argument will be
impressed by the breadth of material assembled here. The book will
prove particularly useful to serious students seeking an overview
of the scholarly debate regarding Paul's place in early
Christianity and some suggestions regarding points of entry."
Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"Wenham has produced a thought-provoking and very convincing study.
Some of his conclusions will be controversial, but his general
thesis and his discussion of particular passages are convincing. It
is an excellent summary and a careful guide for future studies in
this area." Choice
"Besides filling a lacuna in scholarship, the book is lucid and
careful." Church Times
"There are many fresh suggestions here, to provoke scholarly
discussion." Journal for the Study of the New Testament
"This study is one to be highly commended both from a
methodological standpoint and from an exegetical one." Journal of
the Evangelical Theological Society
"An important contribution to contemporary scholarship. . . Wenham
has made a pivotal contribution to this very important area of
study. He has produced a work that is scholarly in its use of
modern Biblical criticism, evenhanded in its presentation of
differing views, judicious in its evaluation of the data, and
persuasive in its defense of his thesis. . . This volume will have
to be consulted by any who attempt to write on the Jesus--Paul
question in the future." Library Journal
"He makes a strong case that most, but not all, of Paul's beliefs
conform to the received Jesus tradition. This work is accessible to
persistent, knowledgeable lay readers." The Living Church
"Wenham's book is a much appreciated education and a striking
success." Themelios
"The persuasiveness with which Wenham argues his case, and the
far-reaching implications of his thesis for both gospel and Pauline
studies, make this book a significant contribution to both fields.
. . This study deserves a wide readership among students and
professional scholars alike, and promised to make an enduring
contribution to the theological study of the NT." Theology
(U.K.)
"The work is wide ranging and well researched, yet it remains
accessible."
