| Summary: | Following an earlier argument on the intersections between fraternity and fictive kinship, patronage and identity concerns in Paul's letter to the Galatians (Punt 2012), this contribution focuses on connections between fraternity and gender configurations within a context of slavery. In Galatians, Paul devotes much attention to fraternal language, gender concerns (e.g., Gal 3:28) and slave imagery (e.g., Gal 4:19-31). Despite this, the interconnections between these three aspects have thus far received little attention in Pauline studies. While reflection on this triad may contribute to understanding the fraternity discourse in Galatians, this essay also draws attention to some implications of Paul's insistence upon connecting brotherhood with gender and slavery, and to his possible motives for deploying fraternity in Galatians. |
