Gager's book makes some good points about why Paul
believed the Jewish people didn't need to give up any
of the Torah when accepting Christ. I wish I could say
the same for his argument that they didn't need Christ
at all. Frankly, I find his (and Gaston's, and to a
lesser degree Stendahl's) "two-path plan to salvation"
theory, while theologically attractive, bogus and
unsupported by the text.
