Galatians 28 in Context: Human Worth & God's Great Purpose for both Men and Women | Andrew Bartlett

Prior commitments create pressure to either restrict or expand the meaning and application of Galatians 3:28. The proper control is to read it in the context of Paul’s overall argument in his letter. This shows it has both "vertical" and "horizontal" aspects. God’s great purpose is to generate new-creation-lives in both men and women, lived in the power of the Spirit, in genuine community, so that both men and women become his true image, like Jesus, as full “sons” of God in one family. This challenges common teachings about “biblical manhood and womanhood." Andrew Bartlett QC studied law at Oxford and practiced as an English barrister for more than forty years. His main work is as an international arbitrator. He has a BA in theology (University of Gloucestershire; fi rst class honors and Bible Society prize). He has served in several churches as elder or churchwarden. He is the author of Men and Women in Christ: Fresh Light from the Biblical Texts (IVP, 2019), which Dr. Scot McKnight says is “rigorous, fairminded, cautious, exegetical, analytical, logical, and dispassionately presented” and “will become THE textbook used in colleges and seminaries that want to discuss women in ministry afresh.”
