Abstract:
Focuses on the persistence of anti-Jewish prejudice in New Testament scholarship about Paul. The strategy to avoid this by situating Pauline debates within an internal Christian rather than an internal Jewish setting does not resolve this problem. Examines, as a test case, J. Louis Martyn's translation and commentary on Galatians (1997). Martyn takes issue with those who propose that Galatians expresses Paul's negative theory of the Jews, contending that Galatians is not an anti-Judaic text as it contains no theory of the Jews, properly speaking. However, the way that the revelation is reserved by definition only for the Christian Church cannot help but reflect the view that not only is Christian Judaism bankrupt, but all the more, by implication, is non-Christian Judaism.
