| Summary: | From Galatians 4:8 Paul abandons reasonable argumentation as a means of persuading the Galatians to return to what they have learnt from him. He takes refuge to the very special personal relationship that has been existing between them as basis for persuasion. The rhetorical question in 4:9 is of the 'erotema' type which focusses not on the content of the question, but on the feelings of the writer. In this way the question under discussion facilitates the new mode of argumentation mentioned above. |
