== Authorship ==
The Book of Galatians was written by Paul to the churches of Galatia. Depending on whether this was the southern "political" region called by that name, or the northern ethnic region, the letter can be dated as early as AD 49 (after his first missionary journey) and as late as AD 55 (while on his final missionary excursion).
== Genre ==
The book of Galatians is an epistle, that is a letter, in this case written to a group of churches planted in the course of getting the gospel to the Roman province of Asia (occupying a similar region to present-day Turkey).
As typical of Paul's epistles, the letter comprises and introduction identifying the author and the recipients, a blessing, a presentation of the purpose of the letter, a body dealing with problems, some applications of the principles dealt with, and a concluding benediction.
