5.0 out of 5 stars Even more interesting than Mystery of Romans, Feb 5 2004
By Joseph J. Slevin (Carlsbad, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Nanos takes his research and perfects his approach in looking at Paul's Jewishness and his desire for an understanding between Christians and Jews at his time.

Mark Nanos attempts to have us understand that Paul uses Irony to get to the heart of those Christians who were the intended audience for his letter.

"Oh thou foolish Galatians," an appeal in Irony to get the attention of those Galatians who were stepping away from the faith delivered earlier by Paul.

Nanos reviews, circumcision, works, the law and the meaning for the early church.

A little less difficult to read that Mystery of Romans, yet scholarly for those more educated in Theological studies.

Again, it is a must for any serious student of the scriptures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Challenging the Status Quo, May 11 2002
By A. J. Valasek (Clemmons, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Mark Nanos continues to challenge the conventional interpretations of the New Testament. After what I thought was a homerun in The Mystery of Romans, Nanos came slightly back down to earth with this text. By all means however, this is definitely an interesting perspective and logically sound and contextually accurate so far as I could tell. With a little imagination, one can certainly place themselves in the timeframe of early Church and see these events unfolding before your eyes giving rise to at least the possibility of this alternative reading being correct. What I hold most dear is the ability of the author to reconcile the differences between early Christianity and Judaism in a way that shows that the two sects are not at different and at odds with one another as we make it to believe in today's society. I'll be looking forward to the more critical reviews that come out of the "scholarly" community. This book at least deserves a consideration but I believe its going against the flow of mainstream interpretations will likely get this book ignored for no other reason than pride. Grass roots students will surely appreciate this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ironically, it could have been half as long., April 1 2002
I really do enjoy reading Mark Nanos insightful studies of NT books. I wish he could somehow cut his sentence length by 1/2 to 2/3's. This would make for easier reading & less difficulty connecting the multiple ideas, contrasts, & comparisons often found within a single sentence--there a joke in there somewhere. Perhaps suffice to say you won't get through a sentence of this book in a "Nanos' second"--it takes much longer. I found his conclusions both plausible & well supported, but not as thought provoking as his Romans work was (for me anyway). Maybe it's just because I anticipated what I could expect from him after reading his Romans book. Overall, an informative book that Reader's Digest ought to consider for it's Condensed Version Library.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most disciplined study of the rhetoric in Galatians
Mark Nanos argues that Galatians must be understood primarily as a letter of "ironic rebuke", Paul's knee-jerk reaction to the news that his Gentile converts have begun... Read more
