Galatians

Letter to converts

Galatians is a book of the New Testament, a letter from the apostle Paul to early Christian communities in Galatia (central Asia Minor).

The epistle argues that salvation comes through faith rather than adherence to Jewish law—a foundational text for Protestant theology.

Paul's letter to the Galatians emphasizes justification by faith.
