If you ever want to have a really thorny and controversial debate about the theology of Paul, just ask one simple question: how did Paul understand the Law of Moses after his association with the ancient Jesus movement? This is a question that Paul must address, and indeed in Galatians 3:19, he asks the very specific question himself. The build up to that question comes in the verses we will look at today.
