Jim,

Sorry that should have been p37 ( I was reading p41 at the time I wrote the 
e-mail!).
Esler's wording which implies Paul's lack of success is: 'Although he had 
publicly
rebuked Peter, he had not persuaded the church in Antioch that he was in the 
right.'

Apologies for wasting your and others time.
