    This book is a classic! And it hardly needs to be reviewed as it has received almost universal acclaim for its freshness and creativity. It is certainly a "must-read" for anyone interested in doing serious and sensitive reading of Paul as an interpreter of Israel's Scripture.For those also interested in the "new perspective on Paul," this is a crucial work to have in one's scholarly arsenal. Hays is not directly addressing or advocating for the NPP, but his exegesis of Paul is characterized by the same sensitivity to Paul's and apostolic Christianty's socio-cultural-historical context--especially in regards to Paul's background as a pharisaic Jew and the fundamental question which characterized early Christianity about the place of the Gentiles in the New covenant community.Hays's work is such a healthy corrective to the evangelical tendency to read Paul's letters, and the Bible as a whole, as a list of doctrinal propositions rather than literary, communicative expressions. This book will certainly challenge all readers and lead in exciting and fruitful new directions in the challenging task of responsibly reading Paul.
