V. Stogiannos explores the teaching of apostle Paul on the Law, as it is presented in the Letter to the Galatians. The present text constitutes only the first part of his study, as it continues in a following volume of the BBS.

Based on them, he attempts the analysis of the particular Pauline teaching, following the Pauline order of dealing with the matter, so that the text itself is comprehended as much as possible. Then, an effort is made to recapitulate systematically Paul’s main thesis. In the first part of the article, the issue of Law and Christ is examined, as it is presented in 2, 15-21.
