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

· On his first missionary journey (Acts 13:1- 14:28) he traveled even farther west. The
church in Antioch was growing tremendously, and Barnabas was sent to recruit Paul
from Tarsus. After a brief visit to bring food to the brethren in Jerusalem, the first
mission odyssey began. However, despite much progress, Jewish opposition began.
“Unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the
brethren” (Acts 14:2-20).
