Description

A good relationship between Paul and the Galatians was established mainly through Paul's display of the crucified Christ, the Galatians' reception of the Spirit (baptismal ritual), and the Galatians' response to Paul's illness (Gal 3:1–5; 4:12–15). This article investigates these issues in light of ancient religious ethos (in particular, mysticism and the evil eye) and ancient anthropology (in particular, pneuma–theory and sight). This investigation shows that these experiences were more corporeal and physical than modern people believe them to be. The crucified Christ was displayed in the scars and disfigurements left on Paul's body. The reception of the Spirit (a dynamic entity) involved ongoing corporeal activities in the initiate's body. Paul's illness caused the Galatians serious fear and might seem to deserve contempt and spitting; however, they welcomed him as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. Such Galatians were later persuaded by Paul's opponents to be circumcised, which indeed evoked Paul's shock and anger.
