The arguments in favour of the view that non-Jews are excluded focus on: (i) the syntax and translation; (ii) possible influence from a Jewish synagogue prayer; (iii) the combination of the terms ‘mercy’ and
‘Israel’; and (iv) Paul’s regular use of the term ‘Israel’. The arguments for the view that non-Jews are included in God’s Israel are: (i) that non-Jewish members of God’s Israel seem to be a possibility in Galatians; (ii) that an exclusively Jewish Israel is theologically impossible in Galatians; (iii) that an exclusively Jewish Israel in Galatians would have been confusing for the addressees; (iv) the fact that Galatians seems to provide insufficient material for deciding
which Jews God’s Israel is supposed to denote.

It is argued that a logic of liberalisation is widespread and provides a main impetus for liberalisation. The logic of liberalisation is analysed and found to consist of four widely held premises. Thereafter, five main lines of arguments available to the
Christian who is critical of such liberalisation are presented and assessed. The arguments pertain to (1) the value of embryos; (2) the commodification of the child and gestation; (3) children’s welfare; (4) children’s rights; and (5) unacceptable consequences of the logic of liberalisation. The article ends with an evaluation of how these arguments are likely to fare in public debate.
