Christ-faith and Abraham in Galatians 3–4

Paul’s Tale of Two Siblings

By: Johnathan F. Harris

On what basis are Gentile Christians justified and full inheriting members of Abraham’s family? By being circumcised and keeping the Torah? Paul answers by reinterpreting the Abraham narrative in light of the Christ-event as a story of two siblings. True Abrahamic children are those whose Spirit-wrought life arises, as God promised Abraham, from the event of Christ-faith. Like Isaac, they receive the life-giving power of the Spirit that is tethered to God’s promise and the event of eschatological faith. By contrast, those who, like Ishmael, are related to Abraham only by means of the flesh are slaves and not heirs.

Originalism in American Law and Politics

A Constitutional History

By: Johnathan O'Neill

This book explains how the debate over originalism emerged from the interaction of constitutional theory, U.S. Supreme Court decisions, and American political development. Refuting the contention that originalism is a recent concoction of political conservatives like Robert Bork, Johnathan O'Neill asserts that recent appeals to the origin of the Constitution in Supreme Court decisions and commentary, especially by Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, continue an established pattern in American history. Originalism in American Law and Politics is distinguished by its historical approach to the topic. Drawing on constitutional commentary and treatises, Supreme Court and lower federal court opinions, congressional hearings, and scholarly monographs, O'Neill's work will be valuable to historians, academic lawyers, and political scientists.

Christ-Faith and Abraham in Galatians 3-4

Paul's Tale of Two Siblings

By: Johnathan F. Harris

Paul argues that Gentile Christians are true Abrahamic children apart from Torah because, like Isaac, they have been given life from the event of Christ-faith by the Spirit. Mere circumcision relates one to Abraham, like Ishmael, only by flesh.
