Description
Summary:There are severe tensions between Paul's letters and Matthew's Gospel regarding the Jewish Law in particular, as David Sim has argued forcefully in many publications. I will continue this discussion about the evidence and reasons for the differences between the writings of these early Jewish followers of Jesus, and explore the political factors that may have shaped them. I analyse distinctive vocabulary shared by Paul and Matthew that sheds light on the implied audiences and wider contexts they were addressing before and after the destruction of the Temple, and outline their diverging hopes for Israel and the ethnē as the underlying cause for the tensions between them.
