| Description | The paper reconsiders the conflict between Paul of Tarsus and the Judaizing Christians which is primarily evidenced in Galatians 1-2. Regarding methodological difficulties in a “demarcation” of the first-century Judaism and/or Christianity, the centrality of Jerusalem is proposed as a fundamental “norming feature” instead of more usual “covenantal nomism”. The main attention is concentrated on Paul’s approach to Jerusalem and the Temple as a case which might test the norm-deviation model via reconsideration of locative and utopian aspects in earliest Christianities. |
