For students of Galatians and Jewish traditions

Explains Paul's use of the Hagar and Sarah story

Deepens your insight into Paul’s view of Gentiles

This study re-examines Paul's allegory of Hagar in Galatians, placing it firmly within the context of ancient Jewish tradition.

In this study, Ryan Heinsch considers Paul's portrayal of Hagar in Gal 4:21-31 and argues that Paul stands in continuity with ancient Judaism in that he portrays Hagar and her descendants as non-Jews. As a result, the author demonstrates that the passage in Galatians is an allegory Paul develops about the experience of gentiles in general and the once pagan Galatian gentiles in particular.
