Cutting Too Close for Comfort: Paul's Letter to the Galatians in its Anatolian Cultic Context - The Library of New Testament Studies
Susan M. Elliott
From the perspective of Paul's letter to the Galatians, this book offers an analysis of the cult of self-castration in its Anatolian cultic context. It argues that Paul attempts to dissuade his audience from being circumcised by identifying circumcision with the enslaving self-castration of the galli and by portraying the Law as a Mountain Mother.
