There are four traditional interpretations of Paul's work in Galatians. Paul is trying to tell us something about the law and the works of the law and that has generated significant confusion despite four common interpretive positions. Which one do you agree with? Which interpretation is the right one?

After three years in Damascus, Paul appeared in Jerusalem to engage in discussion with Paul and James, who then sent Paul to his hometown of Tarsus. Paul responded to this crisis (as he responded to many other crisis throughout his ministry) by seeking God for direction and searching the scriptures for deeper meaning.

After Paul returns from Mount Sinai to talk with God, he returns to Damascus for 3 years, giving him enough distance from the intense scrutiny from the Christian leadership in Jerusalem as well as learning a tent making trade that would help fund his travels.

Before going into Paul's teachings and use of midrash, it is important to understand Paul's history. Dr. Anne Davis chronicles Paul's early travels shortly after his encounter with Yeshua on the road to Damascus.

Dr. Anne Davis goes into detail of Stephen's trial and execution as noted in the Bible. Witnesses who accused Stephen of blasphemous words against God and the law laid aside their robes at the feet of Paul (then known by his Hebrew name, Saul). As a young legalistic fanatic under the direction of the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem, Saul approved of the stoning that led to Stephen's death. 

Dr. Anne Davis gives some examples of Paul's letters that many theologians have taken literally, causing a devastating effect through history as his words have been assumed as anti-Semitic. Dr. Davis offers significant evidence that Paul uses linguistic devices to provoke a much deeper concept in his writings.
