Isaiah and Galatians : an intertextual matrix -- Singing the Servant's song in Galatians 1-2 : Paul's apostolic ministry fulfills the Servant's mission -- Reading the Servant's redemption in Galatians 3-4 : Paul's interpretation of the Servant's salvation in Isaiah 51-54 -- Freeing the Servant's family in Galatians 5-6 : Paul's "Isaianic" explanation of the freedom of the Servant's family -- Paul's Isaianic gospel in Galatians : a synthesis and conclusion
Summary
Although the significance of the Old Testament for Paul's argument in Galatians is well-established, the significance of Isaiah has not been fully appreciated. Using an intertextual approach, Harmon argues that Isaiah 49-54 in particular has shaped Paul's argument and theology in Galatians. The result is fresh light shed on Paul's self-understanding as an apostle to the Gentiles, the content of his gospel message, his reading of the Abraham story and the larger structure of Galatians
