Festschrift for DA Carson includes Moo on Justification in Galatians

As nice as it was to read that Crossway is publishing a Festschrift for DA Carson it was even nicer to see that it includes an article by Douglas Moo on Justification in Galatians. BEST OF ALL – it’s available online from Crossway for download. It doesn’t get any better than that!!

Not everyone agrees that Galatians exhibits a “rhetorical” outline. Philip H. Kern states, “Not only does rhetorical analysis fail to produce agreement concerning the outline, but even more, the epistle does not conform to the descriptions culled from the handbooks” (118).

Donald Francois Tolmie summarises the various positions well in his 2004 dissertation which is available online. There are various hybrid models available some of which seem to have validity. Any current commentator on Galatians needs to take rhetoric into account but not in the pure form seen by Betz and those who follow his structure.

James Dunn is quite write (pun intended) when he concludes, “there is a danger that too much emphasis on rhetorical considerations may blur the extent to which the letter is driven by theological logic and passion. It is the theological issues and logic which are likely to have determined the main line and structure of the argument, particularly in the central section (chs. 3–4), more than anything else, though we will find plenty of evidence of Paul’s rhetorical skill in pressing home his case” (20). There is much more that could be said on this issue and the amount written is enormous. However, it seems wise to concede that although Paul was writing within the conventions of the day he was not forming a deliberative speech and did not intend to produce a model letter as mandated by rhetorical handbooks.

Busy week in Galatians blogging

I’ve been taking an intensive linguistics course this week and have barely been able to even keep up with all the posting on Galatians. When it rains it pours. For your edification here’s what’s being discussed.

Stephen C. Carlson writes on “Translating Σάρξ in Gal 3:3.”

Jason Staples replies on why “‘Flesh’ is not ‘Human effort’ in Gal 3:3.”

There has been a lot written on the flesh/Spirit contrast in Galatians but they both focus on 3:3.

Brian LePort takes a look at “Translating προεγράφη in Galatians 3.1.” LePort concludes his post with “Is it possible that Gal. 3.1 is some sort of reference to Jesus being portrayed from Scripture? What does Paul mean by being publicly portrayed?” After many replies he posted a second time…”Is προεγράφη in Galatians 3.1 a Reference to Drawing/Sketching the Crucifixion?”

LePort has obviously been busy studying Galatians 3 this week as he also posts on “An Oft Ignored Definition of the Gospel: Galatians 3.8.” Both posts have several comments from knowledgeable bloggers so they are worth checking out.

Paul and Corinth; two articles on Galatians

Ekaterini G. Tsalampouni brings word of a new volume published in Greece on Paul and Corinth that includes two articles on Galatians. As you will notice, not all of the articles are in Greek.

Απόστολος Παύλος και Κόρινθος. 1950 χρόνια από τη συγγραφή των επιστολών προς Κορινθίους. Ερμηνεία -Θεολογία – Ιστορία ερμηνείας – Φιλολογία – Φιλοσοφία – Εποχή; Saint Paul and Corinth: 1950 Years Since the Writings of the Epistles to the Corinthians: Exegesis – Theology – History of Interpretation – Philology – Philosophy – St Paul’s Time. International Scholarly Conference Proceedings (Corinth, 23-25 September 2007). Edited by Constantine J. Belezos. Athens: Psichogios Publications (ΨΥΧΟΓΙΟΣ), 2009. There are two volumes: 9789604536597, 9789604536603. A sample of volume two can be seen here.

Without further ado, the two articles are:

Urs von Arx, “Gibt Paulus in 1 Kor 7 eine Interpretation von Gal 3,28? Zugleich ein Beitrag zur relativen Chronologieder Paulusbriefe.” 1.193-222.

Dieter Sänger, “Der Beitrag der Korintherbriefe zur Lokalisierungder Adressaten und zur Datierung des Galaterbriefs.” 2.619-640.

Ken Schenck on Mutiny in Galatia

Ken Schenck is back with another article on Galatians. This one is part one and deals with the setting of Galatians, including the dating and circumstances of the Galatian letter. It is a good introduction to the issues at stake and interacts with scholars such as F. F. Bruce.

The second post is here.
and the third here.

SBL presentation by Johann Kim online

As Sean the Baptist has noted, Johann Kim’s SBL presentation article is now available online. I’m not sure how Kim intends to cover a 43 page paper in 15 minutes, albeit double spaced. Surf on over and save yourself some time.

“Works of the Law” in Galatians 3:10

Brian LePort over at near emmaus has asked for some bibliographic material on Galatians 3:10 and the “works of the law.” With the realisation that I may be using a firehouse to put out a marshmallow roast I have put together a “few” resources that I think he needs to have a look at when addressing this issue.

Galatians 3:26-28 in the NLT

Yesterday the New Living Translation Blog had a post discussing the changes that they have made to these verses over the course of the NLT’s development from the first edition to our current text. Keith Williams posts the text of the Greek along with the original Living Bible and that from the 1996, 2004, and 2007 NLT. He also notes that they added two footnotes along the way. The analysis of the changes is very helpful in understanding why they were made and why the translators consider them closer to the original meaning than what they had before. I am still working on a comprehensive analysis of about 20 translations of 3:28 to demonstrate the various directions that translations can go with that verse so bear with me.
