Dr. Mark Nanos is a reform Jew who studies St. Paul as a Jewish historian, seeking to recover him for Judaism for the sake of Christian-Jewish relations in the post-Holocaust world. He has been a friend and a critic of “New Perspective on Paul” view on Pauline writings (much more a friend than a critic). This was a skype interview with him done by folks at Criswel College.
i am very glad to learn the biblical in hebreu it is ineressant for me, but i can’t speak in english very much, i learn in english three months ago.I vvant to learnt in english
and i demande ,I want to learn with for you please if you want to speak for me
thank you!
Does Dr. Nanos address passages like 1 Cor. 9, where Paul seems to indicate that he has the right (if not obligation) to set aside law keeping practices when he ministers to gentiles? If not, are there any resources that do address that issue?
Chris, I see that this is an old comment, however, I was wondering if you have gotten an answer for your question?
I very much appreciated your sharing this interview and hope to be able to follow the thread one day. This would deal with much of my own struggle. What a humble and knowledgeable man.
indeed.
Thank you, Eli for posting this. It was very interesting – made me buy the book about 4 views on Paul. I’ve read N.T. Right’s books on Paul but I’ve never heard of Dr. Nanos.
Reading on New Perspective on Paul and not reading Mark Nanos is like reading on Marxism-Leninism, reading Marx and not Lenin :-). Now… this is probably exaggeration, but not a big one 🙂 🙂 :-).
Start from his Mystery of Romans.

Ok, great! Thank you for recommendation!
Every Christian should get back to the Jewish roots of their faith. A greater understanding between Christians and Jews will follow.
Thanks Dr Eli for an excellent forum.
Thanks, Dr. Smith for your encouragement to all of us.
