Dear Noel

I spoke with Dr. Martyn a few weeks ago by the way: he has a new book coming
out this year but I believe he said it was on Paul.  Anyway, I have three
books on Paul that one should read:

1. the watershed work of E P Sanders, Paul and Palestinian Judaism.
Fortress, 1977.

2. Paul, the Law, and the Jewish People, by E P Sanders. Fortress, 1983.

3. Jesus, Paul, and the Law: Studies in Mark and Galatians by James D G
Dunn. Westminster, 1990

Perhaps this provides you with a choice.  Anyway, enjoy
