Law and Ethics in Early Judaism and the New Testament
How was the Law of Moses understood and applied among Jews at the turn of the era? How did Jesus and Paul understand the relation between that law and their own message of Gods kingdom and Christs gospel? These and related issues (e.g., the New Perspective on Paul, justification) are treated by Stephen Westerholm in the essays included in this volume.
Law and Ethics in Early Judaism and the New Testament

Torah, nomos, and law
‘Letter’ and ‘Spirit’
The letter-spirit antithesis occurs in only three verses in the Pauline corpus: in Rom. 2. 29 (but note also v. 27), 7. 6, and 2 Cor. 3. 6. Nonetheless, it has traditionally been assigned a significance out of all proportion to its meagre textual base. Nor is this tendency difficult to account for: in terms so concise and memorable that they have passed into common speech, the antithesis captures a principle of manifest importance. Furthermore, t…
