📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Galatians, Paul is writing to early Christians in Galatia who were being pressured by Jewish teachers to follow the Old Testament law, including circumcision, as a means of salvation. He draws on the story of Hagar from Genesis, where she was Sarah's handmaid and mother of Ishmael, to create an allegory linking her to Mount Sinai in Arabia, symbolizing the covenant of the Law. This contrasts the bondage under the old covenant with the freedom of the new covenant in Christ, representing the earthly Jerusalem as still in spiritual bondage.
