Document Summary
Exam question 3: based on paul"s argumentation in galatians, describe the views that paul"s opponents took on the issue of how non-jews should related to the gospels, and how they represented paul"s view. What was paul"s response: the letter to the galatians is written to a group of churches in the roman province of. In his view, for a gentile to be circumcised was not simply a superfluous act; it was an affront to god and a rejection of the justification by faith he has provided through. In paul"s view, the newcomers" message completely contradicts his own. It is possible that these newcomers actually took the offensive against paul himself (or at least that he thought they did) by questioning not only his views but also his authorization to proclaim them. It came from god, in a direct revelation. In basic outline, the message of paul"s galatian opponents appears similar to that proclaimed by other early christians.
