John,
Jeffrey can speak for himself, but I suspect that by
the "Lutheran" label he meant what most scholars mean
by it in referring to the "old perspective" --
Lutheran/Augustinian/existentialist/etc -- that is,
any paradigm which holds that Paul was in some way
targeting the (supposed) attempt to earn salvation
through human achievement. Augustine and Luther
applied this to guilt-ridden despair; Bultmann applied
it to the existential need for recognition; Kasemann
applied it to ecclesiastical legalism; etc. I suppose
the Lutheran view could as well be called the
Augustinian view (as Luther was basically a polemical
and combative Augustine). And Augustine wasn't exactly
a Protestant, was he?

No one is saying that Sanders, Neusner, and Vermes
agree on everything. But they certainly agree that
2nd-Temple Judaism(s) cannot be characterized or
stereotyped as a religion of meritorious
works-righteousness. For that matter, Meier has no use
for the caricature either.
