“These assertions rely on a mirror reading of Galatians, which has notably been difficult to do, (Barclay 1987) but relying on Paul's perception of reality and presentation of information suggests such a scenario.”

“In New Testament criticism, a similar link between style and emotion is often made, for instance, in studies of Paul’s letter to the Galatians, which has been seen as a reflection of the apostle’s anger (see Barclay 1987).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
