For hundreds of years, Paul's letter to the Galatians has been a
flashpoint of controversy among Christians. Why did Paul write the
letter, and what was at issue in the controversy over Torah
observance, particularly male circumcision? Has the letter with its
classic contrast of faith in Christ and works of the law served to
divide Jews from Christians and Christians from one other?
Radically reframing the debate, Tatha Wiley's fresh approach
decisively shifts the Galatian question to focus on the social
consequences of Paul's bitter disagreement with the circumcision
preachers and specifically the implications of the dispute for
Gentile women in the community. Wiley maintains that Paul's
argument of equality in Christ was directed to and for the
situation of women, whose newly won status was jeopardized by the
preaching of Paul's opponents. By looking at the issue of
circumcision from the angle of the Gentile women of Galatia, Wiley
cuts to the core concerns of the dispute: gender privilege,
religious authority, and the life-changing implications of
Christian commitment.
