11 Doctrine Analysis — Galatians (German)

Full reference table for the 14 doctrines in assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json. See that file for the machine-readable version; this document is the human-readable narrative companion.

#	Doctrine	Passages	Risk	German-specific rationale	Review routing
1	Justification by Faith	2:16-21; 3:1-14, 18; 5:1-6 (justification-specific: 2:16, 21; 3:6-11, 24; 5:4-5)	Critical	Extends the Romans baseline’s forensic-not-infused caution; Galatians 2:16 alone repeats “works of the law” three times, the highest concentration in either curriculum.	Human theologian
2	The True Gospel versus False Gospels	1:6-9	Critical	Must read as an absolute denial the rival teaching is a gospel at all, not one option among several in Germany’s plural religious landscape.	Human theologian
3	Paul’s Apostleship	1:1, 11-24; 2:1-10	Medium	The persecution-to-apostle narrative (1:13-24) requires careful historical framing given German sensitivity around any language that could minimize or draw false equivalence with later antisemitic violence.	Native speaker review
4	Law and Grace	2:16-21; 3:1-14, 18; 5:1-6	High	Directly continues the Romans baseline’s Werkgerechtigkeit caution; Gesetz stays confined to the Mosaic Law except at 6:2’s deliberate reappropriation.	Human theologian
5	Crucified with Christ	2:19-20; 5:24; 6:14	Critical	Perfect-tense abiding result must be preserved; “Christus lebt in mir” checked against liberal-theological “Christus-Bewusstsein” drift.	Human theologian
6	The Abrahamic Covenant and Promise	3:6-9, 15-18, 29	High	The singular/plural seed argument (3:16) needs explicit exposition since German’s collective singular is not automatically parsed as strictly singular today.	Human theologian
7	The Law’s Purpose	3:19-25	High	Zuchtmeister/paidagōgos office must read as temporary and now-ended; pair with explicit “bis Christus kam” language.	Human theologian
8	Adoption and Sonship	3:26-4:7	Medium	Reuses Kindschaft exactly from Romans; 4:6’s Abba-cry must match Romans 8:15 verbatim.	Native speaker review
9	Freedom in Christ	2:4; 4:21-31; 5:1, 13	Critical	The single highest-density German-specific risk term in the curriculum: Freiheit carries Luther’s own treatise resonance alongside secular/political associations. The Hagar/Sarah allegory (4:21-31) must stay signposted as allegory.	Human theologian
10	Circumcision and New Creation	5:2-6; 6:12-15	Medium	Keep strictly to the first-century justification argument; avoid any resonance with Germany’s 2012 circumcision legal controversy.	Native speaker review
11	Flesh versus Spirit	5:16-25; 6:8	Critical	Fleisch disambiguated from neutral Körper/Leib; Geist unambiguously the Holy Spirit given this passage’s unusually dense πνεῦμα concentration.	Human theologian
12	Fruit of the Spirit	5:22-23	Critical	Singular Frucht, never pluralized — one unified Spirit-produced character, not nine separate achievements.	Human theologian
13	Faith Working Through Love	5:6, 13-14	Medium	Freedom exercised through love, never license; ties to das Gesetz Christi (6:2).	Native speaker review
14	Bearing One Another’s Burdens	6:1-5, 9-10	Medium	Keep distinct from the German civic/legal sense of “Last” (as in tax burden) by anchoring in the pastoral-community context.	Native speaker review

Risk summary

6 Critical, 3 High, 5 Medium, 0 Low. 9 require mandatory human theologian review; 5 require native speaker review; 0 are automated-only. This is a markedly higher-risk profile than the Romans baseline (3 of 40 doctrines Critical there; 6 of 14 here), reflecting Galatians’ sustained polemical density and its concentration of doctrines carrying distinctly German historical and intellectual resonance (Freiheit, Werkgerechtigkeit, Juden/Heiden sensitivity).
