Sylva, please be assured that it is not my proposition. It is usually
referred to as the "South Galatian Theory" (referring to those believed to
be the recipients of this epistle), and it is widely held by many scholars
on other grounds. What I have done is raise for comment the idea that in
the use by Paul of DIA (rather than META) in Gal 2:1 there could be support
for the fourteen years of this verse overlapping with the three years of
1:18, and thus for an early date (48) for the writing of this epistle, and
thus in its turn for the South Galatian Theory (because in 48, South
Galatia was the only part of Galatian territory which Paul had visited).
I am not aware of a case being argued for being able to date the time of
writing of New Testament books relative to each other on the basis of
whether they call Peter by that name or KHFAS or indeed Simon or Simeon, as
also occurs. Has such a study been done, and are you alluding to it?
Regards,
Ward
