Summary of text [comment] page 81

[To me, Paul’s term ‘flesh’ encompasses both ‘flesh’ and ‘bones’. The latter terms had already been twisted by the wordsmiths of power, in order to justify social constructions that organized society according to ‘the objects that bring every subject into organization’.

What were these objects?

Ironically, they included the ritual demands of the Mosaic Law.

The ‘bones of the elite’ supported ‘the ritual demands of the Second Temple Period’s interpretation of the Mosaic Law’.]
