This work offers a fresh reading of Paul's appropriation of Abraham
in Gal 3:6-29 against the background of Jewish data, especially
drawn from the writings of Philo of Alexandria. Philo's negotiation
on Abraham as the model proselyte and the founder of the Jewish
nation based on his trust in God's promise relative to the Law of
Moses provides a Jewish context for a corresponding debate
reflected in Galatians, and suggests that there were Jewish
antecedents that came close to Paul's reasoning in his own time.
This volume incorporates a number of new arguments in the context
of scholarly discussion of both Galatian 3 and some of the Philonic
texts, and demonstrates how the works of Philo can be applied
responsibly in New Testament scholarship.
