Eastman has done a masterful job in anticipating readers' questions and even playing devil's advocate with her theory. She is conversant with the major theories of interpretation in Galatians and has applied current thinking on metaphor and its place in discussions of gender. Her book is a revision of her dissertation, and so in a few spots it feels like she is citing authorities at length instead of promoting her own views, but this is a minor fault. She offers two useful indices of general subjects and Scripture and ancient sources.
Paul's letter to the Galatians begins with a proclamation of deliverance from the present evil age and comes to a climax with the ringing cry "new creation!" The letter moves from the Galatian believers' new identity in Christ to the implications of that identity for their life together. Susan Eastman here argues that Galatians 4:12û5:1 plays a key role in this movement: it displays the power of God's act in Christ, apart from the law, not only to generate the Galatians' new life in Christ but also to perfect it. Paul communicates to his converts the motivation and power necessary to move them from their ambivalence about his gospel to a faith that "stands fast" in its allegiance to Christ alone. Eastman argues that the medium and the message are inseparable. Paul's discourse or "mother tongue" -- packed with maternal images, vulnerable yet authoritative, and marked by personal suffering -- demonstrates the content of the good news.
