Galatians is a famous [[Epistle]] of [[St Paul]] to the church in Galatia, in central [[Asia Minor]] (now modern [[Turkey]]).  He deals particularly with the issue of whether the Christians there (and elsewhere) should live as if under [[Jewish]] Law (e.g. should be circumcised), as people had been preaching this message amongst them, or should live by faith.  He clearly says the latter.

The Galatians were [[Celts]] who had migrated to Asia Minor from [[Europe]], and originally belonged to three tribes, the Tectosages, Tolistoboii and Trocmi. Their [[Celtic]] language almost certainly was still spoken when Paul wrote to them in Greek, though city-dwellers would know and use Greek.
