GALATIANS vs. THE HEBREW BIBLE: Paul’s War on Sinai
A Torah-first forensic examination of Galatians, testing Paul’s strongest anti-Torah claims against the Hebrew Bible’s covenant standards.
How to use this book
Use this book when the debate turns to Paul, law, faith, circumcision, Sinai, Jerusalem, or the claim that Torah became bondage. It tests Galatians at the point where Christianity often tries to make Torah testify against itself.
Galatians is not a side argument. It is where Paul turns Sinai into the problem and his gospel into the escape route.
- 1Torah remains the controlling standard.
- 2Private revelation does not outrank public covenant.
- 3Context controls prooftexts before later theology gets a vote.
- 4Israel, Zion, Jerusalem, and Sinai cannot be reassigned by rhetoric.
- 5Claims must survive the Hebrew Bible’s own verification rules.
Where to go next
Use this book as part of a reading path. Start with the Seven Gate methodology if you need the testing system, move to the specific Gospel or Pauline volume when a claim needs deeper cross-examination, and use the full book library when the discussion shifts to prophecy, typology, divine agency, atonement, or covenant replacement.
