Introduction -- Galatians in context: where? when? who? -- Galatians in the pagan religious context of Asia Minor -- Paul and returning to paganism -- Galatians in the Jewish religious context of Asia Minor -- The Galatian reception of the influencers' message -- Conclusion.

"Exposing strengths and weaknesses in the 'Old', 'New' and 'Radical New' Perspectives on Paul, Neil Martin's analysis of regression language in Galatians in its first-century context argues that the apostle's supposed anti-law polemic reflects an underlying antipathy for pagan, not Jewish religiosity." --
