The Curse of the Law and the Crisis in Galatia

The examination of Paul's references to the Law in Galatians 5:13-6:10 reveals a complex interplay between the Law and the Spirit in addressing the Galatian crisis. Todd Wilson argues that Paul confronts his converts with a choice between blessing and curse, emphasizing the Spirit's sufficiency in fulfilling the Law to avoid its curse. Key conclusions include the ongoing significance of the Law's curse, the necessity of walking by the Spirit to overcome it, and a nuanced view of the Law's role that challenges assumptions about Christian supersessionism.
