"""Paul's understanding of the law continues to be debated, and all agree that the matter is complicated. Hyun-Gwang Kim contributes to the discussion by positing a fascinating thesis regarding the relationship of the law to gentiles, arguing that the notion that the law only pertained to the Jews doesn't account well for all the evidence. Whatever one's perspective, Kim's careful exegesis and theological reflections should be carefully considered."" --Thomas R. Schreiner, professor of New Testament interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary ""The study of Paul's relationship to the law of Moses is a topic of perennial interest in modern New Testament study. Hyun-Gwang Kim's careful, incisive analysis of a less-treated aspect of Paul's understanding of the law, its meaning for gentiles, should become 'required reading' for scholars."" --Robert E. Van Voorst, professor of New Testament emeritus, Western Theological Seminary ""Well-written, well-argued, well-engaged with recent discussion, Hyun-Gwang Kim's work is a significant and welcome contribution. It calls into question current story-of-Israel interpretations of Paul and at the same time provides a pathway for fresh consideration of Paul's own very Jewish conception of natural law. This careful and thoughtful work will gain a wide reading. No serious student of Paul can afford to ignore it."" --Mark A. Seifrid, senior professor of exegetical theology, Concordia Seminary"
