Re: "the case is closed" Lol. I admit, you are far from alone in this assessment! I liken my research to the title of that TV show: "Cold Case". I'm offering answers to questions nobody is seriously asking. My task is a daunting one, but hey, it is what I do. PS: Thanks for this ...

Yes, I saw David Oliver Smith talk about his work on chaistic structure as a tool for detecting interpolation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuMR2zHeWpk I agree with him that chiasic structure does appear in Paul's writings.

Before 70 AD, YES: I suspect this is an older Sethian doctrine borrowed by a later Valentinian. At any rate, 'Jesus said'...

In my study of Paul's letter to the Galatians, I have found that grammar and syntax vis-a-vis discernment of literary context make for a lot of decision points, all of which are contestable. Not only that, there is the choice of critical ...
