Cracking the Foundation of the New Perspective on Paul

Description

The New Pauline Perspective rests on the claim that the Reformed doctrine of justification is wrong as it is based on a faulty understanding of the Judaism about which Paul wrote. This New Perspective posits that a revised understanding of Second Temple Judaism provides the foundation for an entirely new approach, or perspective, on significant aspects of Paul’s teaching.
In
Cracking the Foundation of the New Perspective on Paul
, a volume from the Reformed Exegetical Doctrinal Studies series, Robert Cara demonstrates how this new interpretation of Judaism has a faulty foundation and cannot bear the weight it needs to carry—thus undermining the entirety of the New Pauline Perspective.
About the Series
The Reformed Exegetical Doctrinal Studies (R.E.D.S.) series addresses a spectrum of doctrines and contemporary theological questions. While the emphasis is on refined dogmatic formulation through rigorous exegesis and exploration into each doctrine’s historical background, this is done alongside warm, earnest pastoral application—making these studies practically, as well as theologically, relevant.
