Paul's allegory of the two covenants (Gal 4.21-31) in light of first-century Hellenistic rhetoric and Jewish hermeneutics
This paper argues that Paul's allegory of the two covenants is more reflective of Jewish reading practices which sought to eschatologize the Torah, such as Paul's reading of Gen 16.1 through its "haftarah", Isa 54.1, rather than Christian typology.
