Sanders contended that the strict Pauline view of the law was foreign to early rabbinic Judaism:There is no hint in Rabbinic literature of a view such as that of Paul in Gal. 3.10 or of IV Ezra, that one must achieve legal perfection... Human perfection was not considered realistically achievable by the Rabbis, nor was it required. |
