It is at least equal to Bloom. <BR/><BR/>Wonder whether Paul intended the "downward" as well as "destructive" sense of "kata," i.e., the Judaizers requiring circumcision were "cutting down" Christianity by treating it as merely a form of Judaism. If so, no idea how you could get that across as well.<BR/><BR/>Maybe there should be a JAP (Journal of Academic Puns) or JAW (Journal of Academic Wordplays).<BR/><BR/>And happy belated Blogday. Please keep it up.<BR/><BR/>KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
