This text seems like an allegorical interpretation…or is it? And if it is, then is Paul saying that allegory a good way to approach biblical interpretation? Or is he merely arguing with the Judaizers on their terms since they preferred allegorical interpretation? Is Paul using their weapon against them so to speak so he can defeat them on their own terms and if so, what is his point?
