| Paul Within Messiah, Torah, and Judaism | | Jon C. OlsonPaul's allegiance to Yeshua (Jesus) is often thought to have impelled him to break with Judaism and the Torah (Law). This article advances a contrary position to the traditional view, maintaining that Paul remained within Judaism.

| Response to Nanos: Renewed Coventanatalism, Not Triumphalism or Supersessionism | | Paul Fronczak
Richard B. Hays explored the problem of Hebrews’ supersessionism in his
