To the Jew First...

In the book of Romans Paul takes the law of the Old Testament and filters it through Christ as the fulfillment of the law. Man no longer has to keep the Old Testament law as a means of salvation. Utilizing his sublime knowledge of the Torah and the Jewish mindframe, Paul presents the Gospel to the Jews who do not recognize Christ as the fulfillment of the law. Using Paul’s writings in Romans, I intend to demonstrate in my paper how he painstakingly wades through Jewish law and mindframe pertaining to Old Testament scripture, presenting the ancient traditional concepts in light of the message of Jesus Christ.
