Paul's Eschatology
- Paul's eschatology views the end times as present, not distant.
- This challenges traditional views of Judaism and Christianity.
Meaning of Judaism
- The word "Judaism" in Galatians does not mean the religion of Jewish people.
- It refers to a specific sectarian program Paul was once part of.
Who are the Judaizers?
- 'Judaizing' describes what Gentiles might do, not the missionaries.
