The biblical texts are the result of a historical-literary process in which the societies and cultures are present through the symbolic constructions and representations, as well as through languages and discourses. In this way, for biblical research, the studies of the source of primitive Christianity become indispensable. These studies can be carried out by means of historic-anthropological concepts that facilitate the understanding of the formation process of identities in the Jewish-Hellenistic context of primitive Christianity. In the perspective of identity analysis, Gl 3,26-29 reflects and suggests the interaction and approximation between ethnic groups and socio-cultural groups, provided some aspects are observed, such as: their differences and their unity in Christ Jesus; and the recognition of the identities emerging from the social, ethnic and geographical boundaries. From a theological and anthropological point of view, therefore, we get close to the ethnic, socio-cultural and religious conceptual components that the text suggests, as well as social and gender representation that emerge from the interaction between the Christian groups in the first century. Therefore, for the Pauline Christianity of Galatians, the concept of Judaism, in relation to Hellenism did not constitute a fixed , stagnated entity in opposition to the latter. Rather than this, they are in a continuous movement of interaction between boundaries, and, in their diversity and differences they make it possible to understand the emergence of the fluid identities in formation.
