DOES THE CHRISTIAN HAVE "FLESH" IN GAL 5:13!26?

Excerpt:
I. THE VIEW THROUGH OUR PRESENT INTERPRETATIVE GLASSES
Probably since Augustine we have used a set of hermeneutical glasses
to read Paul that some have argued does not correspond to Paul's set of
glasses. Specifically, in passages like Romans 6!8 and Galatians 5!6 we
have read Paul's descriptions of human behavior vertically (metaphysically)
rather than horizontally (historically). We have taken his ethical
statements primarily as abstract anthropological descriptions of parts of
the Christian rather than as historical descriptions of the whole identity
of persons. --from the first page of the article
