 Epistle to Galatians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This to the Galatians is written on the urgency of the occasion, tidings having reached him of the state of matters; and that to the Romans in a more deliberate and systematic way, in exposition of the same fundamental doctrines of the gospel.
He reminds the Galatians of the 'law-free' gospel he has preached to them.
Although Ferdinand Christian Baur, one of the earliest critical scholars, argued that Paul did not write Galatians, critical scholarship by the end of the 19th century was in agreement that Paul had written this letter.

Galatians 3:28, 29, Abrahams seed and thus the heirs to the promise given by God to Abraham is clearly identified: The seed is Christ, and the heirs are those in Christ:
Galatians 3:1-10, Paul proves that the gospel message he preached to the Gentiles about the finished work of Christ for salvation was in total conformity with what the Apostles taught at Jerusalem.
Galatians is probably the strongest book of the 66 in the Bible against false teachers.

Galatians 6:14 "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."
Galatians 6:16 "And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God."
In contrast to those who depended on being outwardly marked as Israel, those who are the true Israel of God are inwardly changed through faith in Christ and regeneration of the Holy Spirit.

 Theology WebSite: New Testament Study Helps: Galatians
From the epistle itself it is clear that the readers were called galatians (3:1) and were grouped in what is described as "the churches of Galatia" (1:2).
It is often supposed that Galatians 4:13 ("I first preached the gospel to you") implies that two visits had been paid by Paul before the writing of this epistle, and on the northern theory this would mean that the second visit would need to be identified with Acts 18:23.
The Jewish leaders consequently dispatched representatives to the galatian churches and to the sponsoring church at Antioch (Gal 1:7; Acts 15:1).

 Echoed Voices: Celts in Asia Minor
For a century the Galatians were in a weakened state, barely surviving.
It was 278 B.C. The Galatian Celts, when they crossed into Asia Minor that year, consisted of 20,000 men, women, and children, and were divided into three tribes: the Tolistobogii, the Tectosages, and the Trocmi.
Once a year the clans sent a total of 300 Galatians to a central assembly at the Drunemeton shrine to discuss policy.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epistle to the Galatians
Besides, the Galatians had not swerved so widely from the purity of the Gospel.
Paul addresses his letter to the churches of Galatia (Gal., i, 2) and calls them Galatians (Gal, iii, 1); and in I Cor., vi, 1, he speaks of the collections which he ordered to be made in the churches of Galatia.
He exhorts them (v, vi) not to abuse their freedom from the Law to indulge in crimes, "for they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God." It is not for love of them he admonishes, that the Judaizers wish the Galatians to be circumcised.

 INTRODUCTION TO GALATIANS
Galatians was plainly written to converts of Paul's who had allowed themselves to be influenced by false teachers.
The letter is addressed to "the churches of Galatia", 1:2.
Paul's churches were not situated in the original Galatian territory ("North Galatia"), but rather were in Phrygia Galatia and Lycaonia Galatia ("South Galatia"), and are those referred to in Act.13,14.

 Inheritors or Slaves? A study of Galatians 4
Paul is struggling for the spiritual survival of the Galatian Christians.
It is because the Galatians were coming out of one religion and into another.
The Galatians had come out religious bondage, and were going back into a religious bondage.

 Galatians Commentary and Study Guide
Paul’s plea to the Galatian people was simple: that they return to the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Paul's letter was delivered to the Galatians in a time when they fell back on the laurels of their works rather than the promise of their faith.
In fact, Paul says, in the first verse of the book of Galatians, that he was not appointed by man, but from God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

 E-Mail Bible Class: Galatians
It is in his epistle to the Galatians that Paul will begin outlining the righteousness that comes from a living faith in Christ - a theme he will continue to develop in other writings, especially in his letter to the Romans.
The Title This book is called Galatians because it is addressed to "the churches in Galatia" (Galatians 1:2, 3:1; I Corinthians 16:1).

 An Introduction to Galatians
The lack of information in the Bible about any north Galatian churches, especially in light of the mention of south Galatian churches in Acts 13- -14 supports a southern theory 5.
In Galatians Paul clearly considers them not to be part of the church (4:21-31; 5:12).

 Galatians
Paul holds his authority from God, not from human beings, so this message is to be understood as a message from God.
The Galatians had faith when Paul was there.
Of course, it is also Paul's own message and Paul is joined in greeting the Galatians by the Christians who are with him.

 Clarke's Commentary - Galatians 4
The Galatians were once the firm friends of the apostle, and loved him so well that they would have even plucked out their eyes for him; and yet these very people cast him off, and counted and treated him as an enemy!
Most men, either from false views of religion, or through the power and prevalency of their own evil passions and habits, have ten thousand times more trouble to get to hell, than the followers of God have to get to heaven.
He shows, farther, that when the fullness of the time came God sent forth his Son, that we might obtain the adoption of sons, and have the strongest evidence of that adoption, 4-6.

 USCCB - NAB - Galatians 3
That the Gentile Galatians have received the promised Spirit (Gal 3:14) by faith and in no other way returns the argument to the experience cited in Gal 3:1-5.
The gift of God's Spirit to the Galatians came from the gospel received in faith, not from doing what the law enjoins.
But in a covenant of promise, where all depends on the one God, no mediator is needed (Gal 3:20).

 Galatians
Though the book of Galatians deals with justification by faith, Paul doesn't speak to the Galatians as if they had never heard the gospel before.
Rather than presuming them to be unbelievers, he points out the logical inconsistency of the doctrine of justification by faith vs. the doctrine of the circumcision, and the hypocrisy of the behavior of the Galatians being inconsistent with their supposed belief.
He also points out the hypocrisy of the Galatians first accepting Paul and his gospel and now as if forgetting what he told them.

 Theology WebSite: Electronic Texts: Martin Luther's Commentary on Galatians
Paul wrote this epistle because, after his departure from the Galatian churches, Jewish-Christian fanatics moved in, who perverted Paul's Gospel of man's free justification by faith in Christ Jesus.
If it were not for the example of the Galatian churches I would never have thought it possible that anybody who had received the Word of God with such eagerness as they had, could so quickly let go of it.
These Jewish-Christian fanatics who pushed themselves into the Galatian churches after Paul's departure, boasted that they were the descendants of Abraham, true ministers of Christ, having been trained by the apostles themselves, that they were able to perform miracles.

 Galatians Outline
The Galatians had begun in the Spirit to serve the living God.
The Galatians did not believe in the crucified Christ.
Christians should not develop formalism in their religion because they must not worship God according to the commandments of men.

 The Letter to the Galatians
That the Galatians who had once had this sublime experience should now lapse into the dull, lifeless, formal kind of religion their new teachers offered them was more than he could bear.
On the whole it is reasonable to conclude that his Galatians were the inhabitants of those south Galatian cities, especially as there is no record of any Christian churches in the northern part of the province until long after Paul's day.
He cares deeply for the Galatians, and their religious welfare is a matter of the utmost personal concern to him.

 USCCB - NAB - Galatians - Introduction
he Galatians to whom the letter is addressed were Paul's converts, most likely among the descendants of Celts who had invaded western and central Asia Minor in the third century B.C. and had settled in the territory around Ancyra (modern Ankara, Turkey).
His enthusiasm for this new vision of the life of grace in Christ and of the uniquely salvific role of Christ's redemptive death on the cross shines through this whole letter.
When Paul learned of the situation, he wrote this defense of his apostolic authority and of the correct understanding of the faith.

 THE WAR WITHIN: FLESH vs. SPIRIT - (Galatians 5:16-18) - John Piper
Fourth, see Galatians 3:5, the clearest of all: "Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law or by hearing of faith?" The Spirit does his mighty work in us and through us only by the hearing of faith.
The way to walk by the Spirit and so not fulfill the desires of the flesh is to hear the delectable promises of God and trust them, delight in them, rest in them.
You will have victory over temptation and know the guidance of the Lord if you keep your heart happy in God by resting in his promises.

 bibleteacher.org: sermon by Rev Willmouth, Galatians 3:1-5
The evidence of the Galatians salvation was in the suffering that they endured, not because they were trying to keep the law, but because of the truth of the message that they proclaimed.
The Galatians had irrefutable evidence that grace is the way of salvation, and the legalist had no evidence that their message was from God
Paul now asks the Galatians why were they so foolish as to trust in the work of Christ by faith for salvation, and afterward hope to finish the process by a means which was inadequate to initiate salvation in the first place

 G. A. van den Bergh van Eysinga, The Spuriousness of the So-called Pauline Epistles.
All our canonical letters are to be regarded as models and types of the episcopal pastoral letters; they were the admonishing voices of the apostolic men who after they were dead, still spake to the Christian Churches, in order to convert them from the old Jewish standpoint to the new one of the Catholic faith.
Eschelbacher further shows that the author of the Epistle to the Galatians cannot possibly have been a Jewish Scribe, since he uses the Septuagint translation instead of the original Hebrew text, and in consequence of this gives us interpretations which conflict with the statements of the latter.
Luke leaves the impression that Paul, on the occasion of his first journey to the Galatians, could only pay them a hasty visit; and that upon a second occasion, when he passed through their country, he could do no more than confirm their faith (Acts 16:6; 18:23).

 Saint (St)Paul’s Letter (Epistle) to the Galatians
The Galatians should want to be sought by those who bring the true Gospel, which had brought such blessing to them, even when Paul is not there with them, and not just by anyone who is enthusiastic for a cause.
Thus the Galatians will simply be becoming like the Pharisees, binding themselves and others with burdens grievous to be borne, committing themselves to a continual ritual, seeking impossibly to purify themselves and put themselves in a position to deserve eternal life.
And he wanted the Galatians to know that they were one with him in his message.

 The Book of Galatians
Was inferior to the Gospel in the sense that it was given by angels (Galatians 3:19);
The Gospel which Christ had given to Paul taught that the Gentiles did not have to be circumcised to be saved (Galatians 6:15), while the apostles in Jerusalem (and most of the people in Judea) were claiming that circumcision was very necessary.
The most abrupt introduction to any book of the Bible is that of Galatians.

 Galatians: DON'Tt SUBMIT AGAIN TO THE SLAVE'S YOKE
This is not a letter written to a single church as in the cases of those to Corinth and Ephesus.
But these Galatians, as Paul admits in this letter, received him with great joy, treating him as though he were an angel of God, or even Christ Jesus himself.
Then, in Galatians, the emphasis is upon the words "shall live" -- what it means to live as a righteous person, justified in Christ.

 Galatian
DATE: This brief letter to the Galatians is the first of Paul's New Testament letters that have been preserved for us.
We learn that the principle of "sowing and reaping" applies to both the physical and spiritual realm (6:7-8).
What Paul preached came by revelation from Jesus (1:10-24) and had been endorsed by the leaders of the Jerusalem church (2:1-10).

 A Study of Galatians - INTRODUCTION
To restore the Galatian Christians' faith in the complete sufficiency of Jesus, it was essential that Paul restore his credibility and prove that Jesus was the perfect fulfillment of God's plan and intent.
His conversion to Christ and divine appointment to apostleship came long after Jesus' death and resurrection.
He did not follow Jesus during Jesus' ministry on earth.

 Galatians
But this is not to say that the argument for justification of faith in Galatians is cut-and-dry; far from it, Paul's epistle to the Galatians is full of passion, anger, and drama.
Jewish-Christians from Palestine had visited the congregations of the Galatians after Paul's visit there and taught that Paul's Gospel was incomplete.
Paul writes to rebuke and to persuade the Galatians in this letter.

 Notes on Galatians
(b) Those spiritual graces and gifts, which were a seal as it were to the Galatians that the Gospel which was preached to them was true.

The Galatian Christians were apparently being taught that they needed to add the Law to their faith.
False teachers were saying that they needed to progress further in the faith by observing the Torah.
Obviously, they received the Spirit through faith, by accepting what they heard.

 GALATIANS, NRSV NEW TESTAMENT
Although Galatians follows the form of a letter to specific Christian churches, there are no references to anyone in the community and little information about Paul's mission among them.
The addresses of the letter are an unspecified number of "the churches of Galatia" (1.2), a Roman province in central Asia Minor where, according to Acts, Paul had preached (Acts 13.14-14.23; cf.
Paul would develop his views on the law further in his Letter to the Romans, which is considered his last letter.

 [No title]
There, where the perhaps simultaneous assimilation of the six passages in Galatians occured, as in the western manuscripts D E F G, is where we should also look for the source of the interpolation-in the West, certainly not in the Africa of Tertullian, but in Gaul or earlier in Italy, in Rome.
In other words, while 1 Corinthians has only Kêphas, Galatians has in part, at the two verses 2:7-8, only Petros attested, and thus has textual evidence for Petros in all six passages, and only in four of these six passages also for Kêphas.
It would be understandable if, from the six Galatian passages, Kêphas remained in 2:11 and 2:14, since one already soon finds in Clement of Alexandria (Euseb.

from jesus to christ: primary sources: paul's letter to the galatians
This bitterly polemical letter reflects tensions between Paul and the Christian community he founded in Galatia, a Roman province in Asia Minor.
In his absence, Paul is finding that his teachings are being challenged by others claiming to be Christian teachers who are encouraging the formerly pagan Galatians to be circumcised and observe other elements of Jewish law.
