The upstart churches in Galatia Province were comprised of both Jewish and Gentile converts. After Paul and his companions left, a group known as the “Judaizers” crept into power. These were Jews who insisted that Christians must also keep the Mosaic Law. Basically, they taught that Gentiles had to convert to Judaism before they could become Christians. When Paul heard about this, he wrote a letter back to the Galatians to set things straight.
