Book Review: Jew and Gentile Reconciled: An Exploration of the Ten Northern Tribes in Pauline Literature

Book Review: Jew and Gentile Reconciled: An Exploration of the Ten Northern Tribes in Pauline... ATR/101.2 Book Reviews 369 Jew and Gentile Reconciled: An Exploration of the Ten Northern Tribes in Pauline Literature. By Bryan E. Lewis. Wilmore, Ky.: GlossaHouse, 2016. v + 173 pp. $29.99 (cloth). Lewis’s thesis is that Paul was a messianic restorationist on an apostolic mission to help reunite the remnants of both houses of Israel as one people around the Messiah. His specific calling to the gentiles was in fact a calling to bring in the remnant of the historical Northern Kingdom of Israel. In Lewis’s view, scholars have missed this crucial insight because they have only concentrated on the Babylonian exile rather than the earlier As- syrian one, and have therefore overlooked prophetic promises regarding the latter’s return to worship YHWH and the reunion of the remnant of both houses. He argues that Paul, reading the scriptures as a covenantal metanar- rative regarding the faithfulness of God to both houses, took this reunion se- riously. His own mission to the gentiles was in fact a regathering of a by now “gentilized northern Israel” that had been widely scattered after the Assyrian exile in the eighth century BCE.
