When and from where did Paul write the book of Galatians?
Paul wrote the book of Galatians around 60 A.D., likely from Corinth. He had received word that congregations in central Turkey, which was Galatia, were being led back under the Law. Therefore he wrote to correct that false teaching and restore them to the pure grace of God.
Les teaches that Paul was probably back at Corinth around 60 A.D. when he wrote Galatians. He notes that Saul was converted about 37 A.D. and began his ministry about 40 A.D., so this was about twenty years after he began ministering to the Gentiles. Paul was getting word that the little congregations in central Turkey—Galatia—were being bombarded to go back under the Law. So he wrote this little book to correct that false teaching and bring them back under the pure grace of God. Les adds that it is just as appropriate for the world today, even church people. Paul begins by asserting his apostleship was not of men, neither by man—not commissioned by the Antioch or Jerusalem church, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead.
