Galatia was a Roman province founded by the Gauls and initially worshipped a Roman god before adopting Hellenized religion and Greek language by the second century AD. Paul visited Galatia during his first missionary journey, facing persecution, and later wrote the epistle to the Galatians in response to false teachings about circumcision by Judean visitors. This document emphasizes the importance of reading the six chapters of Galatians for better understanding.
