CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In this age, a common phenomenon that has been embraced by most human society is freedom. Great numbers of communities have the challenges and agitation to be completely free from all kinds of bondage or slavery in its minutest form. Consequently most human communities are grabbling with the fundamental question of their freedom or liberation which is tied to some enslavement of some sort of existential factors affecting them either positively or negatively. Indeed the Christian community particularly in the Middle Belt of Nigeria as an integral part of the larger society is also confronted with a seemingly similar situation or the question of real freedom, or a misunderstanding of the concept and perhaps a flawed interpretation of what “freedom in Christ” actually mean. Thus, it is argued that, Christianity is a religion of freedom par excellence (Hodgson, 1976, p. xiv).

Pauline studies have been a matter of great controversy over the years among many New Testament scholars. Interpreting his letters has generated heated debate within the ranks of biblical scholars following his diversity of methodology in proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ in the Mediterranean settings. Hence in understanding the concept of evleuqeri,a (eleutheria) “freedom” as depicted in Galatians by the apostle Paul, an interpretive model of the letter in the Greco-Roman context is necessary for today’s  hermeneutic.

Thus, in Galatians as distinct from other Pauline epistles like Corinthians, Romans and Colossians, among others, there is the frequent assuage of the concept of evleuqeri,a (eleuth̲eria) freedom which draws attention to the event of Christ salvific work. Paul clearly states that evleuqeri,a (eleutheria) freedom is a product of God justifying the sinner and imparting on such a one his righteousness. This freedom is from all the forces of life that subjected man to untold bondage of different kinds which includes: sin, flesh, demonic power, Satan and the world system. For instance, apart from the epistle to the Romans, it was in Galatians that Paul gave a distinctive use of the concept. Longeneker (1984) posits that Paul is the “apostle of liberty”. He demonstrated this by employing the noun in its dative form evleuqeri,a|- (eleutheria) to mean “freedom”, or “liberty”, and give its cognates evleu,qeroj (eleutheros) (adjective) and the verb form – evleu,qerw (eleutherō) meaning to  liberate, or set free. In the overall context of this study, evleuqeri,a (freedom); of all its appearance in the New Testament times and its cognates, only twice (5:1, 13) does it appear in its dative form in Galatians. Several scholars gave attention to the concept in the context of Pauline corpus; this research however focuses its investigation on the concept in the letter to the Galatians.
