Více o knize

Focusing on the theological implications of Jesus's death, the book presents a novel perspective by examining the influence of Maccabean Martyr Theology on Paul's understanding of this event. The author contends that Paul's views of Jesus's death as both an atoning sacrifice and a pivotal moment for Jews and Gentiles were shaped by this historical context. This fresh analysis challenges traditional assumptions about the Old Testament's role in New Testament interpretations, offering deeper insights into early Christian thought.
