The similarity between this epistle and the epistle to the Romans has led to the conclusion that they were both written at roughly the same time, during Paul's stay in Macedonia in roughly 56— This third date takes the word "quickly" in Gal.

Meier suggests that Galatians was "written in the middle or late 50s, only a few years after the Antiochene incident he narrates". The South Galatian view holds that Paul wrote Galatians before or shortly after the First Jerusalem Council, probably on his way to it, and that it was written to churches he had presumably planted during either his time in Tarsus he would have traveled a short distance, since Tarsus is in Cilicia after his first visit to Jerusalem as a Christian, [15] or during his first missionary journey, when he traveled throughout southern Galatia.
If it was written to the believers in South Galatia, it would likely have been written in A third theory [17] is that Galatians 2: This theory holds that the epistle was written before the Council was convened, possibly making it the earliest of Paul's epistles. According to this theory, the revelation mentioned Gal 2: This view holds that the private speaking about the gospel shared among the Gentiles precludes the Acts 15 visit, but fits perfectly with Acts It further holds that continuing to remember the poor Gal.
In addition, the exclusion of any mention of the letter of Acts 15 is seen to indicate that such a letter did not yet exist, since Paul would have been likely to use it against the legalism confronted in Galatians. Finally, this view doubts Paul's confrontation of Peter Gal. If this view is correct, the epistle should be dated somewhere around 47, depending on other difficult to date events, such as Paul's conversion.
Kirsopp Lake found this view less likely and wondered why it would be necessary for the Jerusalem Council Acts 15 to take place at all if the issue were settled in Acts Lightfoot also objected to this view since it "clearly implies that his [Paul's] Apostolic office and labours were well known and recognized before this conference. Defenders of this view, such as Ronald Fung, disagree with both parts of Lightfoot's statement, insisting a Paul received his "Apostolic Office" at his conversion Gal.
Fung holds, then, that Paul's apostolic mission began almost immediately in Damascus Acts 9: While accepting that Paul's apostolic anointing was likely only recognized by the Apostles in Jerusalem during the events described in Gal. The citation here is based on the content of the gospel. Alternative outlines have been introduced based on the rhetorical form of the letter.
This epistle addresses the question of whether the Gentiles in Galatia were obligated to follow Mosaic Law to be part of the Christ community. After an introductory address Galatians 1: In the first two chapters, Paul discusses his life before Christ and his early ministry, including interactions with other apostles in Jerusalem.
This is the most extended discussion of Paul's past that we find in the Pauline letters cf. Chapter 3 exhorts the Galatian believers to stand fast in the faith as it is in Jesus. Paul engages in an exegetical argument, drawing upon the figure of Abraham and the priority of his faith to the covenant of circumcision. Paul explains that the law was introduced as a temporary measure, one that is no longer efficacious now that the seed of Abraham, Christ, has come.

Chapter 4 then concludes with a summary of the topics discussed and with the benediction, followed by 5: In the conclusion of the epistle, Paul wrote, "See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. From the time when letters began to be forged in his name 2Thessalonians 2: In the present case he writes a whole paragraph, summing up the main lessons of the epistle in terse, eager, disjointed sentences. He writes it, too, in large, bold characters Gr. Alternatively, some commentators have postulated that Paul's thorn in the flesh was poor eyesight, which caused him to write in characteristically large letters.
Galatians also contains a catalogue of vices and virtues , a popular formulation of ancient Christian ethics. Probably the most famous single statement made in the Epistle, by Paul, is in chapter 3, verse Position 1 emphasises the immediate context of the verse and notes that it is embedded in a discussion about justification: Position 2 reminds its critics that the "whole letter context" is very much about how people got on in the here and now together, and in fact the discussion about justification came out of an actual example of people treating other people differently 2: In so doing Paul clearly takes his Christ movement out of the orbit of Judaism and into an entirely different milieu.
The Council of Jamnia theory is increasingly rejected by most liberal scholars. Protestants and Catholics [9] use the Masoretic Text as the textual basis for their translations of the protocanonical books those accepted as canonical by both Jews and all Christians , with various changes derived from a multiplicity of other ancient sources such as the Septuagint , the Vulgate , the Dead Sea Scrolls , etc. The Eastern Orthodox use the Septuagint translated in the 3rd century BCE as the textual basis for the entire Old Testament in both protocanonical and deuteroncanonical books—to use both in the Greek for liturgical purposes, and as the basis for translations into the vernacular.
These books, which were largely written during the intertestamental period , are called the Biblical apocrypha "hidden things" by Protestants, the deuterocanon "second canon" by Catholics, and the deuterocanon or anagignoskomena "worthy of reading" by Orthodox. These are works recognized by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox Churches as being part of scripture and thus deuterocanonical rather than apocryphal , but Protestants do not recognize them as divinely inspired.
Orthodox differentiate scriptural books by omitting these and others from corporate worship and from use as a sole basis for doctrine. Many recognize them as good, but not on the level of the other books of the Bible. Anglicanism considers the apocrypha worthy of being "read for example of life" but not to be used "to establish any doctrine. The difference in canons derives from the difference in the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint. Books found in both the Hebrew and the Greek are accepted by all denominations, and by Jews, these are the protocanonical books.
Catholics and Orthodox also accept those books present in manuscripts of the Septuagint, an ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament with great currency among the Jews of the ancient world, with the coda that Catholics consider 3 Esdras and 3 Maccabees apocryphal.
Most quotations of the Old Testament in the New Testament, differing by varying degrees from the Masoretic Text, are taken from the Septuagint. Daniel was written several hundred years after the time of Ezra, and since that time several books of the Septuagint have been found in the original Hebrew, in the Dead Sea Scrolls , the Cairo Geniza , and at Masada , including a Hebrew text of Sirach Qumran, Masada and an Aramaic text of Tobit Qumran ; the additions to Esther and Daniel are also in their respective Semitic languages. The unanimous consensus of modern and ancient scholars consider several other books, including 1 Maccabees and Judith, to have been composed in Hebrew or Aramaic.

The Ethiopian Tewahedo church accepts all of the deuterocanonical books of Catholicism and anagignoskomena of Eastern Orthodoxy except for the four Books of Maccabees. The spelling and names in both the — Douay Old Testament and in the Rheims New Testament and the revision by Bishop Challoner the edition currently in print used by many Catholics, and the source of traditional Catholic spellings in English and in the Septuagint differ from those spellings and names used in modern editions that derive from the Hebrew Masoretic text.
For the Orthodox canon, Septuagint titles are provided in parentheses when these differ from those editions. For the Catholic canon, the Douaic titles are provided in parentheses when these differ from those editions. Likewise, the King James Version references some of these books by the traditional spelling when referring to them in the New Testament, such as "Esaias" for Isaiah. In the spirit of ecumenism more recent Catholic translations e. The order of the books of the Torah are universal through all denominations of Judaism and Christianity.
The disputed books, included in one canon but not in others, are often called the Biblical apocrypha , a term that is sometimes used specifically to describe the books in the Catholic and Orthodox canons that are absent from the Jewish Masoretic Text and most modern Protestant Bibles.
Catholics, following the Canon of Trent , describe these books as deuterocanonical, while Greek Orthodox Christians, following the Synod of Jerusalem , use the traditional name of anagignoskomena , meaning "that which is to be read. Several of the books in the Eastern Orthodox canon are also found in the appendix to the Latin Vulgate, formerly the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. In general, among Christian denominations , the New Testament canon is an agreed-upon list of 27 books, although book order can vary.
