| Summary: | The validity of the theme of this paper may be questioned due to two reasons: (i) By his opening rhetorical question in Galatians 1:10, Paul implies that he does not wish to persuade men. (ii) The word obedience (cf for example 'hupakoe') does not occur in this passage. The motif for obedience is, however, important in this passage and finds expression in the concept of 'being a slave of Christ'. A responsible exegesis of this passage suggests that Paul's assertion of obedience has an important persuasive function when one allows the text to be interpreted on more than one level. |
