John Piper concurs and evokes the Pauline adiaphora: “because it seemed in general to devaluate the distinction between Jew and gentile-a distinction grounded in the Torah, Jesus’ command to love the enemy as well as the friend contained the seed for the dissolution of the Jewish distinctive” (Piper, ‘Love your Enemies,’ 92). — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 883
