Neil,

I have read Israel's Law and the Church's faith and agree that it was
excellent.  Especially the second half.  The first half is largely
devoted to critiques of liberal scholars with various levels of interest
to me.  The critique of Sanders I found more interesting and that of
Schweitzer and others less interesting.

Westerholm clearly distinguishes between Paul's various uses of nomos
concluding that he is usually referring to the commands of Moses which
are expected to be done.   

Westerholm also holds a strong discontinuity in reference to law and the
Christian life, and cites Luther as an influence.

Is the other book his latest title?  I did not realize that it was out if
it is.

Enjoy the reading,

Mike
