| Descripción: | This paper aims to destabilize the sex/gender binary in Galatians 3:28 using queer criticisms. Some of the scholars using queer criticisms maintain that the oneness in Gal. 3:28 indicates replacing two sexes with masculinity (“in Christ,” a male body), and it is not a manifesto for gender equality as egalitarian readings suggest. Following Davina Lopez’s empire- and gender-critical reading of Galatians, this paper argues that the oneness is in crucified Christ, who is far from the perfect masculinity, one of the most desirable things in Roman imperial ideology. Thus, this oneness is attained by downward mobility toward the unmanly, inferiorized, crucified figure. It is the solidarity realized “in Christ,” which is queer and liminal space where people seek different power dynamics and the (gender) hierarchy/structure than those of the Roman Empire and constantly struggle to create solidarity among the oppressed. Keywords: Galatians, Queer criticism, Gender, Liminal space, Solidarity. |
