===Authorship and time of writing===
This letter was probably Paul's first. Many scholars believe it was written prior to the [[Jerusalem Council]] of [[Acts 15]] to openly address the issue of [[circumcision]] and [[justification by faith]] to the Christians of [[Galatia]].
===Themes===
The main theme running through the letter is that of [[justification through faith]] alone. Paul explains that the Galatian Christians are not accepted by God because of their obedience to the [[Mosaic Law]] but rather through God's [[grace]] through [[Jesus Christ]].
