dc.description.abstract | This article brings Gal 2: 15-21 into dialogue with the Confession of Belhar (1986). It
starts off with the issue of the formation of confessions in Early Christianity and asks
whether there could be a confession basic to or in the making in the Galatians passage.
The Confession of Belhar (1986) is structured around three concepts, namely, unity,
reconciliation and justice within the South African context of the churches disunity with all
its social consequences. Galatians reflects a critical and decisive period in the history of the
Early Christianity as it struggles with the issue of justification. In this pericope Paul focuses
on Justification by faith, but supports it with other concepts like grace, equality/unity and
freedom. While these sets of concepts do not correspond with one another, they both reflect
a crucial period of transformation in the history of the church. | en_US |
