“…1983 was taken up and expanded by various other scholars (in Pauline studies, notably JDG Dunn 1982) as the New Perspective on Paul. The NPP (re)affirmed the Jewishness of the New Testament setting and in the process identified influential typecasts steering the interpretation of these texts.…”

“…moontlik Stendahl (1963) en Ed P Sanders (veral 1977Sanders (veral , kyk 1983) is verder geneem en uitgebrei deur verskeie ander geleerdes (in Paulus studies, veral JDG Dunn 1982) as die Nuwe Perspektief op Paulus (NPP). Die NPP (her)bevestig die Joodsheid van die Nuwe Testament omgewing en ontmasker in die proses invloedryke stereotipes wat die interpretasie van hierdie tekste stuur.…”

This paper focuses on different texts, Pauline texts as well as those (scriptural) texts invoked by Paul in his texts, and ever-present imperial "super"-texts. The imperial co-establishes the social setting of Paul's letters given the rhetorical use of Othering in the Roman Empire with its identity politics. The rhetorical power of Paul and his scriptural texts contributed to discursive formations, since a strong sense of being and identity was negotiated through these texts, even when admitting that such formations are always in process, mutating and reformatting. Construing notions of Others was a particularly important feature in defining boundaries, for generating insiders and outsiders in Pauline texts.

“…1 This zeal 'defended and reinforced the boundaries separating Israel from the (other) nations'. 2 In the only other original contribution to this 2008 volume, an essay on Phil. 3.2-14, Dunn speaks speci¿cally of Phinehas's zeal, correlating it with other instantiations of zeal subsequent to Phinehas: [T]he zeal of a Phinehas was not a concern for personal standing with God.…”

This article considers James Dunn's understanding of Phinehas's zeal. Dunn has given special attention to Jewish zeal in his writings, and this study considers speci¿-cally his view of Phinehan zeal in Numbers 25, Sirach 45, and 1 Maccabees 2. Dunn argues that the focus of this zeal is its ethnic or nationalistic dimension; it is a zeal for Israel's set-apartness from the nations (horizontal). Upon a close reading of these three texts, it is concluded that Dunn makes primary what is in fact secondary. The focus of these texts is instead obedience to God through Torah-loyalty (vertical).
