Introduction On the interpretive trail : Galatians 6.11-17 through the lens of its interpreters The strategic form and function of Galatians 6.11-17 Has Paul's suffering been communicated in vain? ; Listening to Paul's perspective on persecution Finding other clues : reading between Paul's lines Paul's dramatic final word : the message of Galatians 6.11-17 Conclusion.

Summary: This book provides an interpretation of Galatians 6:11-17 which yields significant insights about Paul's perception of the crisis in Galatia, and the solution he presents to his readers in light of it. In the first section of the book, the epistolary form and function of Galatians 6:11-17 are analyzed. Revealed as a body-closing, it works to sharpen and complete Paul's message by spelling out his motivation for writing and establishing the basis for further communication with his readers. The theme of persecution in the letter is then seen rendered both explicitly and implicitly through the examination of pertinent passages. These indicate that all parties involved share some connection to persecution. Finally, an exegetical analysis of Galatians 6:11-17 reveals Paul's claim that the agitators' primary motive is to avoid persecution because of the cross of Christ. He contrasts them with himself by boasting in that same cross. The net effect is that Paul draws on both the redemptive moment of Jesus' death, and the ongoing cross-shaped life he lives, to validate his apostleship.
