Why is there such an ethical emphasis in Jesus’ gospel proclamation? This work finds the answer in Jesus meeting his audience within their own conceptual realms and then expanding those realms to point to the nature of his salvation. The bulk of this work investigates the soteriology of Second Temple Judaism, especially of the Qumran Scrolls. The apocalyptic lesson was the demand of a greater covenantal obedience, held in tension with God’s grace, a demand met through sectarian revelation and involving a somewhat diverse messianism. Within these conceptions, Jesus affirms that salvation is indeed for the “righteous,” but as defined through himself as the unique Messiah.

The book is also a homecoming story about the Gentiles who were Gods naturally, lost children, and how they obeyed or came home to God through Jesus Christ, as well. In telling the story about how the children of Israel and the Gentiles obeyed or came home to God through Jesus Christ, the book in addition, tells the story about Jesus Christ and His New Testament commandments, in which Jesus says one must obey for salvation. In Jesus telling His disciples in the New Testament, in Matthew 28:19: teach all nations Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 28:20 as follows: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:

This major contribution to Pauline scholarship by a widely-respected New Testament scholar is the culmination of over forty years of teaching on Paul. Brendan Byrne demonstrates that topics often discussed in Pauline studies and Christian theology go astray when the significance of the last judgment falls from view. Offering a fresh Catholic perspective that engages with centuries of Protestant interpretation, this book recaptures the significance of the motif of the last judgment for the interpretation of Paul.
