Who is the Author?

The Epistle to the Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul. Paul identifies himself as the author in the first line of the letter, and virtually all scholars affirm Pauline authorship, due to the style and theology of the epistle.1 In addition, Paul reveals a great deal of autobiographical information in this epistle. Much of this information is not shared in his other known correspondence, and Paul uses the material to address the Galatians, thus making it more authoritatively Pauline.2
