| Résumé: | It is suggested that the conflicting forces of 'pneuma' and 'sarks' are utilised in a deictic way in the paraenesis of Galatians, reaffirming values once held by Paul and his Galatian converts. The rhetoric occasion for a rerouting of the argument from the law-Spirit controversy to the flesh-Spirit opposition seems to be the perception that the demise of Jewish observances had left an unprotected flank on the side of the flesh. The apostle fills this mental gap with reference to the potent agency of the Spirit, subtly applying the workings of both the Spirit and the flesh to the theme of peace and unity, respectively strife and disunity in the community, possibly on a Jewish-Gentile axis. He thus enforces his persuasion in favour of a choice (once again) for the Spirit. |
