It's certainly blaming God for sin, isn't it? In the Galatians passage
God seems to have given Torah more as an act of mercy, because of sin. But in
Romans Paul's struggling with the Jews' overall rejection of the Jesus
movement, and attributes the problem directly to God. Are there any Jewish
antecedents for this? What's the precise meaning of SUNEKLEISEN here? It's
difficult to see how scripture can 'imprison' or 'shut up' anyone under sin,
as in Galatians 3:22, if the word has its apparent meaning.
