RELIGION 155 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Aith, Paula Fredriksen, Mark Goodacre
Document Summary
Rel 155: the new testament: 1 november 2016. North galatian hypothesis: makes sense of paul(cid:514)s description of the people as. Galatians, e. g. (cid:345). (cid:343): (cid:515)you foolish galatians(cid:516): many say that this would be impossible if you were speaking to people in the roman province. South galatian hypothesis: makes sense of paul(cid:514)s travels in south galatia in cts (cid:343)(cid:346) (first missionary journey) (cid:558) lycaonia, lystra, derbe, etc. Galatia(cid:516), then cts tells us about their founding mission. Whichever it is, notice how paul addresses churches in galatia (gal. 1. 2) (cid:558) he is writing to a region, spread out over a major distance: paul"s ministry in galatia. Galatians does not tell us a lot, but there is one hint: For i bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. Have i then become your enemy by telling you the truth: trouble in galatia (a) mirror reading.
