To: Carl W. Conrad,
<< "I'm surprised that you are allowing yourselves so quickly to be turned
away from the one who called you by grace to another gospel." (and by the
way, isn't Carlton's understanding--in his version which is cited at the
head of this message--closer to a passive than a middle understanding of
the voice of METATIQESQE here?). ... it seems to me that Paul's choice of
a present tense is itself well-suited to a pastoral stance: the shift of
commitment is NOT one that has been completed; rather it is one that he
hopes to avert by the intense argumentation he is about to set forth in the
letter ahead. >>
You made two excellent points here which <I say sheepishly> I had
overlooked! Thanks!
