James the Just, the brother of Jesus, is known from the New Testament as the chief apostle of the Torah-obedient Christians. Up to the last quarter of the twentieth century, Jewish Christianity was regarded as an unimportant branch of the early Christian movement. Correspondingly, there was remarkably little interest in James. However, in the past two decades, while early Christianity has been studied as a form of Judaism, the literature on James has grown considerably. Now some scholars tend to assume that James was a loyal follower of his brother right from the beginning, and that his leadership in the church was stronger than traditionally has been assumed. Fresh studies on Acts 15 and Galatians 2 have opened new questions about the Christian Judaism of James and social formation of the community which he led. Part II of this article, to be published in a later issue of Currents, will treat the rest of the James tradition—James's ritual purity, martyrdom and succession, and his role in the Gnostic writings and later Christian evidence. It will conclude with reflections concerning James and earliest Jewish-Christian theology.

“…Most scholars tend to assume that the question of table-fellowship was simply not discussed in Jerusalem. Dunn (1983) has suggested that the problem of table-fellowship at Antioch was related to the degree of observation of the Law by the Gentile Christians. This theory has been mostly rejected, since Paul does not hint at such distinction.…”

“…origin (Brown & Meier 1983:36-44;Dunn 1983;Holmberg 1998;Howard 1990:14;Taylor 1992:124-38). Apart from a passing mention of calendrical observations (4:10), Paul makes no reference in Galatians to any specific judaising practice other than circumcision (5:2, 3, 6; 6:12, 13, 15).…”

“…While Paul may not respond to every aspect of the teaching he opposes (Barclay 1988:38), or may caricature it (Hall 1991:311), it is nonetheless surprising that he makes in the probatio and (Reicke 1984;Taylor 1996). Such pressure may well have contributed to the confrontation between Paul and Peter in Antioch (Gl 2:11-14;Dunn 1983;Taylor 1992:124-38). There is nevertheless no indication of a fundamental departure from the consensus established at the Jerusalem conference, and the agenda of Paul's antagonists are quite contrary to implementation of the Apostolic Decree (Borgen 1988;Taylor 1992:110-22;140-42;cf Murphy-O'Connor 1996:193-94).…”

Conflict as context for defining identity: A study of apostleship in the Galatian and Corinthian letters

This article examines ways in which Paul defined the notion of apostleship in the course of conflict with rival authority claimants in the early Church. In Galatians Paul defines and asserts his apostolic selfidentity in order to regain the oversight of the Galatian churches which he had previously exercised as an apostle of the church of Antioch. In 2 Corinthians Paul asserts his authority as church founder against rivals who recognise no territorial jurisdiction. No common agenda, theological position, or conception of apostleship can be identified. Rather, rival authority claimants based their legitimacy on different criteria in different situations.

“…(Hawthorne, Martin & Reid 1993:306) In the Galatian controversy (see Dunn 1983), the opposing Jewish Christian false teachers insisted that the Gentile converts be subjected to certain "works of the law" on a behavioural level (ethics and ethos), namely to keep certain typical Jewish-cultural table fellowship rules, religious days and feasts, and have themselves circumcised. These behavioural categories are imbedded within a particular understanding of Jewishparticularistic socio-religious and cultural identity, as Dunn (1983Dunn ( :2007 pointed out. The opponents imposed a certain identity on the community of faith in Galatia who already formed a sociological group with its own self-understanding and way of life (manner of sociological interaction based on a new symbolic universe).…”

In this article the New Perspectives 1 on Paul and its implication for Pauline ethics will be discussed as well as the relationship it has to the understanding of the missionary dynamics in Paul. The article begins with the history of the development of the New Perspectives on Paul and continues by exploring James Dunn's contribution to the understanding of the controversy in the Letter to the Galatians regarding works of the law (e[ rgwn nov mou). The implications of Dunn's thesis are subsequently accounted for and brought in relation with mission and ethics in the early church. Thereafter, the contribution of N. T. Wright is discussed with special reference to his understanding of the righteousness of God and the righteousness of those who come to faith in Christ.
