In the book review of Reinventing Paul by John Gager, the first part should be a summary of Gager which should take up the first 500-600 words of essay. In summary form (though including crucial details where necessary) what Gager is doing in this book ? that is, what is he claiming, how is he addressing the historical scholarship on Paul, how does he support his claims, and what does he think about who Paul is? Then, please use 500-600 words to engage Gager?s argument as a way of reading Paul?s epistles (specifically, 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 Corinthians, and Romans) ? what is clarified about Paul?s teaching by reading Gager? What elements of Paul?s thinking come into clearer focus by adopting Gager?s point of view? On the other hand, are there elements in Paul?s writings that strain against Gager?s characterization? Are there ways in which Gager?s view of Paul is contradicted by Paul?s letters? Finally in 200-300 words ? and this is an intentional shift in gears ? using Gager?s argument as a case study, discuss the usefulness of historical study and critical scholarship for remedying assumptions and inherited characterizations, and why that kind of scholarship and thinking are crucial in the 21stcentury.
