The idea Galatians 2 isn’t abt ethnic supremacy is profoundly wrong. Paul is so clear in his language. Two things behind it: 1. Luther’s exegesis of Galatians still rules & his filters were justification vs. Catholic abuses. limited perspective. 2. Ignorance of Jewish culture.
We can agree to disagree.
I think it’s about all of the above. To say it’s just about circumcision is overly simplistic in my view. It’s about so much more. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

I hate agreeing to disagree. I believe it was you who recently stated that “Disunity is the result of many necessary conversations never had.” The point was the circumcision.

I believe that. But Twitter is not the best platform for such weighting and complex issues. I’m thankful for Galatian commentaries that are coming arguing my point. It’s commonly understood by many scholars. Do you think Paul rebuked Peter over circumcision?

Circumcision was an element but it’s important to engage the why. What does circumcision signify? A much bigger issue, one that led to Paul rebuking Peter. I’m curious to why you conclude it’s just abt circumcision when there is so much more in the epistle being addressed.
