The Romans Debate
This collection of essays appeared in 1977 and quickly became a standard for studying the purpose and occasion of Romans. Besides the original essays, this new edition -- in a newly designed and enlarged format -- includes thirteen of the most cogent, recent articles on this subject, a comprehensive bibliography, and an index.
Paul, Thessalonica and Early Christianity
This book concentrates on major Pauline themes and on I Thessalonians in its cultural and religious context, as well as exploring other major issues, especially with reference to chronology and Judaism. The question of Paul's Jewishness is therefore raised with a new urgency. What kind of a Jew was Paul? Why do we find so many coherences between his language and thought with that of the Community of the Renewed Covenant (i.e. the Essenes)? One of the essays, 'Paul and Qumran', suggests that the Dead Sea Scrolls offer valuable clues to understanding Pauline language and thought. If, in fact, there was contact between Paul and the Essenes, where would it have taken place? If such meetings were...
The Theology of the Shorter Pauline Letters
This book breaks new ground in offering an exposition of the theological message of the Shorter Pauline Letters. Karl P. Donfried puts 1 and 2 Thessalonians in their cultural context, and identifies a number of key themes in these letters, such as the notion of election. I. Howard Marshall's study of Philippians brings out especially the understanding of the theological basis of the Christian life that underlies the letter, while his discussion of Philemon emphasizes how the main theme of the letter is the relation between the gospel and Christian ethics.
Judaism and Christianity in First-century Rome
Rome, as the center of the first-century world, was home to numerous ethnic groups, among which were both Jews and Christians. The dealings of the Roman government with these two groups, and their dealings with each other, are the focus of this book.t
Paul, Thessalonica, and Early Christianity
This significant book contains essays on Pauline thought and theology which span some twenty-five years, placing themes and issues in a broad chronological context of academic discussion. In addition to discussing major Pauline themes, and 1 Thessalonians in its religious and cultural context in particular, Karl Donfried raises the question of Paul's Jewishness with a fresh urgency, as well as opening new perspectives on the origins of earliest Christianity and its relationship with second temple Judaism.
1 & 2 Thessalonians
For over one hundred years the International Critical Commentary has had a special place amongst works on the Bible. This new volume on 1 &2 Thessalonians brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological - to enable the scholar to have a complete knowledge and understanding of this old testament book. Donfried incorporates new evidence available in the field and applies new methods of studies. No uniform theological or critical approach to the text is taken. >

Paul and Empire
Over the centuries, Paul has been understood as the prototypical convert from Judaism to Christianity. At the time of Pauls conversion, however, Christianity did not yet exist. Moreover, Paul says nothing to indicate that he was abandoning Judaism or Israel. He, in fact, understood his mission as the fulfillment of the promises to Israel and of Israels own destiny. In brief, Pauls gospel and mission were set over against the Roman Empire, not Judaism.
