Analysis of the Letter to the Galations

Analysis of Paul’s Letter to the Galatians It is presumed that Paul’s letter to the Galatians was probably written around 55 A.D. This particular letter deals with question whether gentiles must become Jewish before they can become Christian. The problem came about when Judaizing teachers in Galatia declared that Christians not only had to have faith in Jesus Christ, but also that they were obligated to keep the Mosaic law. Paul insisted that …

…harmony, one without corruption and outsiders (Roetzel 20). Yet the problem with Jewish Law still lingered. The problem of acceptance of Jewish Law is the fundamental split in Christianity. It can still be seen today. However, if Paul had preached the Law, I don't believe that Christianity would even be present today especially among the gentiles. He did much to advance Christianity; however, Gentile Christianity became a religion of Paul, rather than a religion of Jesus.
