'In the past few years or so Paul's theology, especially his relationship to Judaism, has become a highly controversial topic in NT studies. In this book Watson launches into that controversy with one of the most important and adventurous contributions to date, which is sure to spark off further controversies in its wake … that he has managed to produce strikingly novel but not wild or idiosyncratic results is a measure of his rigorous methods of argument.'
