| Description |
Galatians is a polemical letter which contains argumentative passages. Paul wanted to persuade by using the best arguments possible to convince his addressees. This work shows that a contemporary method of argumentation analysis provides tools to describe individual arguments and the overarching strategy of the argumentation in a Pauline text.
