How did the early Jesus movement see themselves?

Paul identifies a specific challenge to identity formation in the Messiah facing the church in Galatia. This specific challenge provides the basis from which Paul can expound a broader vision of membership in Messiah community.

Paul masterfully explores the logic of a New Age instantiated by Messiah Jesus, the new requirements for family belonging, and the reciprocal faithfulness of Jesus and believers which is the foundation of righteousness. The inter-faith squabble of Galatians affords modern readers a window into the earliest working out of crucial Christian theological matters such as the Trinity, incarnation, atonement, and ultimate destiny. As such, it is indispensable for today as a document establishing the very foundations of our shared life in Christ.
