 | "So convinced is he that faith sets people free and
that this has a transforming effect which goes far beyond what meticulous
observance of laws, including biblical laws, can achieve, he will go on to
speak of love not as a reason to keep rules, but as a fruit of the Spirit
(5:1, 22-23)." |

"Paul -
an Obituary," Gerd Ludemann, Bible and Interpretation.
| "Paul...fantasized that, like the two
great prophets of the past, he had been called from his mother’s womb to
be a preacher -- of course by God himself. So a tremendous self-confidence
developed in Paul that exceeded even that of his pre-Christian period.
This becomes even more remarkable the more one considers that this man
from Tarsus never knew Jesus of Nazareth personally." |

Rhetorical Identification in Paul's Autobiographical Narrative: Galatians
1.13 - 2.14, by Paul E. Koptak.
| "Paul not only sought to strengthen his
relationship with the Galatians through his autobiographical narrative,
but that he used the depictions of relationships within the narrative to
create a rhetorical community that the Galatians were forced either to
join or reject. Thus to reject circumcision was to identify with the
community of Paul and the Christ who sent him." |
