who wrote the book of galatians

The Book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul. He wrote it to the churches in the region of Galatia, likely around AD 48-57, depending on scholarly views. Paul wrote this letter to address issues in the Galatian churches, particularly to counter false teachings that advocated requiring Gentile Christians to follow Mosaic Law, such as circumcision. This letter strongly defends Paul's apostleship and emphasizes salvation through faith in Christ rather than adherence to the law.
