| Riepilogo: | The controversial text of Gal 3:28 is classified as an early Christian baptismal formula with a remarkable reception in earlyChristian Writings. It is argued that all baptized persons are qualified to be full members of the church and that no groupdefined by gender, ethnicity, social, or legal status may be excluded from any type of service in the church. With regard tothe role of the text in current debate, this reading leads to strong claims regarding social ethics in contemporary church andsociety: for example, that it is wrong for church authorities to deny ordination to women on the grounds of gender. Practicesinvolving gendered violence, sexual molestation and exploitation demean women and fail to acknowledge their inherentdignity and worth. The baptismal declaration of Gal 3:28 calls for a society in which all such mistreatment or exclusion of women will be shameful matters of the past. |
