Abstract

This article queries whether Paul wrote Galatians with reference to epistolary conventions for ironic letters. First, the author explores the use of the θαυµάζω + conjunction “epistolary formula” in the non-literary papyri to determine the relationship between this expression, irony, and Gal 1:6. Then, he weighs the evidence for an ironic reading of Gal 1:6 itself before turning to the extant ancient letter writing handbooks to assess the extent to which Gal 1:6 meaningfully parallels the ironic letters in the handbooks. The author argues that while an ironic reading of Gal 1:6 is plausible, there is no evidence that Paul has crafted Galatians with reference to epistolary conventions for ironic letters.
加拉太语是一个反语字母吗?
这篇文章质疑保罗在写加拉太书时是否参考了讽刺信件的书信体惯例。首先,作者探讨了在非文学纸莎草书中使用θαυµάζω+连词“书信体公式”来确定这种表达、反讽和Gal1:6之间的关系。然后,他权衡了《加尔文1:6》本身讽刺性阅读的证据,然后转向现存的古代写信手册,评估《加尔文》1:6在多大程度上与手册中的讽刺字母有意义地相似。作者认为,虽然《加一书》1:6的讽刺解读是合理的,但没有证据表明保罗参照讽刺信件的书信体惯例创作了加拉太书。
