Abstract:
Introduction and thesis -- Deuteronomic blessings and curses in Second Temple Jewish martyrological traditions -- Deuteronomic blessings and curses in Galatians -- Representation and substitution in Second Temple Jewish martyrological traditions and in Galatians 3:13 -- Lexical, grammatical, and additional conceptual similarities between Second Temple Jewish martyrological traditions and Galatians -- Conclusion: A Jewish martyrological reading of Galatians 3:13.
Abstract:
Jarvis J. Williams argues that the Jewish martyrological ideas, codified in 2 and 4 Maccabees and in selected texts in LXX Daniel 3, provide an important background to understanding Paul's statements about the cursed Christ in Gal. 3.13, and the soteriological benefits that his death achieves for Jews and Gentiles in Galatians. Williams further argues that Paul modifies Jewish martyrology to fit his exegetical, polemical, and theological purposes, in order to persuade the Galatians not to embrace the 'other' gospel of their opponents. In addition to providing a detailed and up to date history of reasearch on the scholarship of Gal. 3.13, Williams provides five arguments throughout this volume related to the scriptural, theological and conceptual, lexical, grammatical and polemical points of contact, and finally the discontinuities between Galatians and Jewish martyrological ideas. Drawing on literature from Second Temple traditions to directly compare with Gal. 3.13, Williams adds new insights to Paul's defense of his Torah-free-gentile-inclusive gospel, and his rhetoric against his opponents
