In Promise, Law, Faith, T. David Gordon argues that Paul uses "promise/ἐπαγγελία," "law/νόµος," and "faith/πίστις" in Galatians to denote three covenant-administrations by synecdoche (a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa), and that he chose each synecdoche because it characterized the distinctive (but not exclusive) feature of that covenant.
