'''Galatians''' is a famous Epistle of [[Paul]] , probably his first of his series of letters,<ref>Paul's first letter was either this Epistle to the Galatians, or his first letter to the Thessalonians.</ref> as written to the church in [[Galatia]], located in central [[Asia Minor]] (now modern [[Turkey]]). He Paul 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. This letter is so powerful and influential that it has been called the "[[Magna Carta]]" of [[Christian]] [[liberty]].
