This book explores the thought of Paul and Judaism on the subject of divine judgment according to works. How can Paul say we will be saved by grace through faith, and also that we will be judged according to our deeds? Paul seemed to feel no theological tension in saying these two things, and this book explains why. The first in the English language to concentrate solely on "judgment according to deeds" in Paul, it takes account of recent discussions about Paul's theology and his relationship to Judaism.
