The North Galatian and South Galatian Views
In Paul’s day the term Galatia had two
connotations. One was ethnic, and the other
was provincial. A summary of the historical
background will explain the reason for the
differences:
250 Migratory Celtic tribes (Gauls) moved in from the west and north and settled down
B.C. in Asia Minor, mostly in the northern half.
189 The people were conquered by the Romans.

Augustus made the region a Roman province, calling it Galatia (after “Gaul”).
The original boundaries were extended southward to include such cities as Derbe
and surrounding areas.
CHART 81: LAW AND SPIRIT IN GODS
TIMETABLE
Here are the two views and some
arguments that are advanced to defend
each:
1. “Churches of Galatia” were churches in
the northern regions.
a. This is “ethnic” Galatia, using the term
in a popular sense.
b. The churches were founded on Paul’s
second or third missionary journey (see Acts
16:6; 18:23).
