New Views of Paul

In the last 40 years or so, scholars have revised the commonly held view of Paul that Protestants have held since Reformation. The new view holds that Paul was called to preach to the Gentiles, that God intended to include these Gentiles in the family as part of healing the world. Further, the new view holds that God did not reject Jews nor should the Jews reject the law.

In other words, Jews could become Christians, but Christians did not have to become Jews.
