Abrahamic Descent, Testamentary Adoption, and the Law in Galatians - Info and Reading Options

The Open Library:

In this volume, Bradley R. Trick argues that Hellenistic testamentary adoption provides the key to understanding Abrahamic descent and its implications for the law in Galatians. By thoroughly analyzing the Greco-Roman and Jewish contexts of Paul s references to testaments/covenants ( ) and adoption, Trick establishes that Gal 3-4 portrays the Abrahamic as a Hellenistic testament through which God adopts Abraham. This insight enables a coherent and collectively consistent interpretation of Paul s Abrahamic appeals to emerge, one in which sons (3:7) designates Jews, children of promise (4:28) designates gentiles, and seed designates Christ (3:16) and the interdependent union of Jews and gentiles in Christ (3:29). The need to preserve the singularity of this seed then grounds God s giving of the law. - book blurb.
