 Dear Mark,

 Many thanks for your encyclopaedic contribution to this discussion.

 I always glossed Galatians 1:6-7 as meaning "a different [hETERON] Gospel
 which is not a valid alternative [OUK ALLO]". Or to put it another way, the
 Judaizers' "gospel" was heterodoxy, whereas Paul's Gospel was orthodoxy.
 Of course ALLOS does not equal ORQOS; but that must be Paul's point. IMHO.
 The extended appeal to /Abrahamic/ rather than to /Mosaic/ considerations
 emphasises this.

 Thanks again.

 Happy Easter
 Ben
