| Summary: | Ryan Heinsch untersucht Paulus' Darstellung der Hagar in Gal 4,21–31 im Kontext des antiken Judentums.InhaltsübersichtPart One: Introductory Matters Chapter 1: Echoes of Supersessionism and the Figure of Hagar in Galatians 4:21–31Chapter 2: Comparative Methodology and Reading Paul Part Two: The Portrayal of Hagar in Ancient Judaism Chapter 3: The Portrayal of Hagar in the LXX of GenesisChapter 4: The Portrayal of Hagar in the Jewish Literature of the Second Temple Period Part Three: The Portrayal of Hagar in Galatians Chapter 5: Again, and Again, and Again: Framing the Portrayal of Hagar in GalatiansChapter 6: »One Bears Children Away from Mount Sinai”: Examining the Portrayal of Hagar in GalatiansChapter 7: »To Be Sure, Sinai is a Mountain in Arabia”: The Text of Galatians 4:25a To date, scholarly study of the allegory of Hagar and Sarah in Galatians 4:21–31 has not paid adequate attention to the way Paul's use of the story – chiefly in relation to the figure of Hagar – can be located within streams of ancient Jewish tradition. In this study, Ryan Heinsch fills this scholarly gap by considering Paul's allegorical portrayal of the figure of Hagar in Galatians 4:21–31 within the context of ancient Judaism. The author argues that Paul stands in continuity with – rather than against – ancient Judaism in that he, like other Jews in antiquity, portrays Hagar and her descendants as non-Jews. As a result, the author demonstrates further that Galatians 4:21–31 is not to be read as a polemic against Jews, Jewish Christ-followers, or the continuing validity of the Jewish law (as is common among interpreters), but rather, that Galatians 4:21–31 is an allegory Paul develops about the experience of gentiles in general and the once pagan Galatian gentiles in particular.Survey of contentsPart One: Introductory Matters Chapter 1: Echoes of Supersessionism and the Figure of Hagar in Galatians 4:21–31Chapter 2: Comparative Methodology and Reading Paul Part Two: The Portrayal of Hagar in Ancient Judaism Chapter 3: The Portrayal of Hagar in the LXX of GenesisChapter 4: The Portrayal of Hagar in the Jewish Literature of the Second Temple Period Part Three: The Portrayal of Hagar in Galatians Chapter 5: Again, and Again, and Again: Framing the Portrayal of Hagar in GalatiansChapter 6: »One Bears Children Away from Mount Sinai”: Examining the Portrayal of Hagar in GalatiansChapter 7: »To Be Sure, Sinai is a Mountain in Arabia”: The Text of Galatians 4:25a |
