Exegetically Speaking

A Singular Seed and Ancient Interpretation, with Christian Brady: Galatians 3:15-18


Listen Later

In Gal. 3, Paul makes the grammatically singular form of the noun "seed" (σπέρμα) load bearing for his argument. But the singular form of that word doesn't necessarily denote one individual. Paul is employing contemporary Jewish exegetical practices, and the understanding of that and Paul's wider aims can be helpful here. Dr. Christian Brady is T. W. Lewis Dean of the Lewis Honors College and Professor of Ancient Hebrew and Jewish Literature at the University of Kentucky. He completed an M.A. degree in Biblical and Theological Studies at Wheaton College (1994), before earning his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford (2000). His publications include The Proselyte and the Prophet: Character Development in Targum Ruth and Beautiful and Terrible Things: A Christian Struggle with Suffering, Grief, and Hope.
