Book Of Galatians
Galatians, more than any other single book, became the manifesto of freedom and revival of Biblical truth of the Reformation era: “the Magna Carta of spiritual emancipation.” Few books have had a more profound influence on the history of mankind than has this small tract, for such it should be called. Christianity might have been just one more Jewish sect, and the thought of the Western world might have been entirely pagan had it never been written. Galatians embodies the germinal teaching on Christian freedom which separated Christianity from Judaism, and which launched it upon a career of missionary conquest. It was the cornerstone of the Protestant Reformation, because its teaching of salvation by grace alone became the dominant theme of the preaching of the Reformers. — Merrill Tenney

Mark’s Departure:
· Paul and Barnabas agree to revisit the Galatian churches. But they disagree about

Galatia—the paganism and the physical dangers and hardships that were there—he
apparently decided that he hadn’t been called as a missionary. He headed home (Acts
13:13).
· His mother was a prominent member of the church in Jerusalem and her home was the
place of meeting for the church there.
39] And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one
from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
