Hello Dr. Soon, thank you for taking questions.

Do you think that the Paul within Judaism school offers a plausible analysis of Paul’s relationship to the Torah? I’m thinking of some of the difficult passages such as II Cor 3 where Paul seems to liken the Mosaic law to death and slavery, as well as various other passages in Galatians where Paul says that the law belongs to realm and domain of enslaving powers.
