Summary/Abstract: Recent rhetoric research on Paul no longer only discusses descriptive aspects, but also evaluative aspects. The present contribution compares Paul and Cicero with regard to their self-presentation in order to better understand the polemics of the Epistle to the Galatians and the ethos of the apostle, also in detail. For this purpose, it draws not only on some ancient textbooks of rhetoric, but also on speeches actually delivered by Cicero, which Cicero probably revised later.
