Jarvis J. Williams argues that the Jewish martyrological ideas,
codified in 2 and 4 Maccabees and in selected texts in LXX Daniel
3, provide an important background to understanding Paul's
statements about the cursed Christ in Gal. 3.13, and the
soteriological benefits that his death achieves for Jews and
Gentiles in Galatians. Williams further argues that Paul modifies
Jewish martyrology to fit his exegetical, polemical, and
theological purposes, in order to persuade the Galatians not to
embrace the 'other' gospel of their opponents. In addition to
providing a detailed and up to date history of research on the
scholarship of Gal. 3.13, Williams provides five arguments
throughout this volume related to the scriptural, theological and
conceptual, lexical, grammatical and polemical points of contact,
and finally the discontinuities between Galatians and Jewish
martyrological ideas. Drawing on literature from Second Temple
traditions to directly compare with Gal. 3.13, Williams adds new
insights to Paul's defense of his Torah-free-gentile-inclusive
gospel, and his rhetoric against his opponents.
