Paul's polemic related to circumcision means that for this theory to work, some evidence for a large scale abandonment of the practice of circumcision among Jews in antiquity would have to be provided.

This gives a pay-off in interpretating various texts,
such as Gal 2:15, where the Galatian Christians are
described as "Judeans by nature" and not sinners of
Gentile origin -- a clear "indication that Paul is not
concerned about Gentiles" (p 200). Or in the argument
of Gal 3:10-14:

Huh? Gal 2.11ff is (at least ostensibly) a dialogue with *Peter*, not with
the Galatian Christians.

Besides which, Paul was not strictly a Judean himself.

As a whole, great attempt at novelty.
