How foreign the clinical instruments of theology are to the lyrical
texts of the Bible At heart, Paul's letter to the Galatians is
neither a stream of propositional truth, nor a logical argument.
Certainly, it communicates truth in a well-reasoned order, but it
does so in a captivating "musical" form. The Apostle arranged all
his texts in patterns drawn from the Hebrew Scriptures. Paul not
only used words to convey meaning, but conferred greater meaning
upon each word and phrase through its placement in relation to
every other word and phrase. The literary conventions and
historical outcomes which shape the Old Testament are the tunes
playing inside Paul's head as he writes to the Galatians. If we use
these patterns as a lens through which to view his highly
structured prose, Paul's internal logic becomes immediately
apparent, and the skillful allusions he makes hammer home his
message of freedom for us with greater depth and clarity than ever
before.
