| Summary: | The outcome of Paul's argument in Gal 4:21-5:1 and his use of Scripture in particular, is a transposition of the contemporary understanding of impact of the historical events around Abraham and his children on the Jewish people. Allegory is the instrument with which Paul works out the maternal images in Galatians, respecting yet challenging both the original text and his readers. At the same time, Paul's allegorical reading exposes his own assumptions about the wives of Abraham, and the implications of their children and legacies. His reinterpretation reveals the ambiguity of his position, complete with gendered configurations, ideology and interpretive power play. |
