Paul is not the only one in need of re-analysis, according to some scholars. Abraham, in their view, was not just the rst Jew but also the rst Gentile, and his role in Romans 4 has more to do with being a Gentile than it does with his being the father of the Jewish people. Gerhard Visscher examines whether this reasoning holds up in the writings of Paul and his contemporaries.
