One of the interesting-looking books I picked up at SBL this year was Paul Was Not a Christian: The Original Message of a Misunderstood Apostle
by Pamela Eisenbaum. I have not read it yet, but Religion Dispatches has an article by her that gives some indication of the points made in the book.

It was also exciting to see that Bible and Interpretation picked up on and linked to my piece about the Conservative Bible Project. And if you are interested in studying at St. Andrews, don’t miss Jim Davila’s post about scholarships.
Peje Iesous has an interview with Stephen Patterson. D. Miller blogs about Paul and the end of the world. Ken Schenck has more disagreement and disorder at Corinth.
