It is probable that the Gospel was first introduced into Galatia by St. Paul, about A. D. 53; (see Acts xvi. 6.) he planted several churches there, which are called in the inscription-the churches of Galatia. As to the time when this Epistle was written, it is most reasonable to conclude that Paul wrote it before his second journey to Galatia, (see Acts xviii. 23.) and consequently not later than A.D. 56.
