The paper discusses some literary issues connected with the narrative character of Paul's exceptional text – his auto-narrative in the Letter to the Galatians (1, 11 - 2, 14). The following matters are presented: Author, reader and the process of reading (1), Literary problems (2), Environment (3), Personae dramatis (4), Relationships among persons (5), Point of view (6), Influence of the text (7). Just as the text originated in the context of disputes within the Church, so now it arouses strong emotions and excites various comments, especially in a situation of new conflicts and disputes. References to the rules of narration present in the text enable us to read it in a more objective way.
