Controversy in Galatia
The key issue in Galatia is whether Gentiles must be circumcised and keep some, at least, of the deeds required by the Torah . Paul’s letter to the Galatians is his response to a controversy in the churches of Galatia. The issue is the status of Gentile believers. Must they conform to Jewish practices and submit to the regulation of the Mosaic Law, especially the rite of circumcision?
