Anti-Judaism in Galatians?: Exegetical Studies on a Polemical Letter and on Paul’s Theology
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Several modern interpretations of Paul’s letter to the Galatians claim to uncover an underlying attitude of anti-Judaism. Michael Bachmann refutes those claims with his own detailed exegesis and astute examination of comparative material from the religious environment of that day, revealing instead how Paul embraces both Jews and Gentiles. Bachmann holds that, in determining meaning, the literary context of Galatians should be considered over historical background. Nonetheless, he engages parallels in Qumran material and archaeology as secondary methods to confirm his exegetical arguments. Through his rigorous examination, Bachmann shows that Galatians exhibits evidence of anti-Judaism not in itself, but only in its reception. Rich in scholarship and sound exegesis, Anti-Judaism in Galatians? is an ideal text for scholars and students seeking the whole truth about Paul.
