In this study, Ruben A. Bühner discusses Paul's relationship to the Judaism of his time. In the context of a pluralistic Diaspora Judaism, the question is to what extent Paul still sees himself committed to a Jewish way of life even after turning to Christ.

Under the umbrella term "Paul within Judaism," new interpretations of Paul's letters have recently emerged. In this context, Ruben A. Bühner examines the continuity of a Jewish way of life before and after Jews turned to Christ. By interpreting Paul in the context of a diverse Diaspora Judaism, he argues for a mediating position in an increasingly ideological debate. Thus Paul understands himself both as a Jew and as committed to a Jewish way of life, while at the same time seeing himself as "in Christ" also committed to community with non-Jews.
