Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(land of the Galli, Gauls). A central province of
Asia
Minor, and part of
Paul
’s missionary field ({vi 27490;27581}Acts 16:6; 18:23; 2 Tim. 4:10).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
A large district in the center of
Asia
Minor, having
Bithynia
on its
north
,
Pontus
on its
east
,
Lycaonia
and
Cappadocia
on its
south
, and
Phrygia
on its
west
. The inhabitants, being emigrants from Gaul, were called the Galli or Gauls of the East. They settled themselves in Asia Minor, and being restless and warlike they became a scourge to their neighbors. When restrained, they hired themselves out as mercenary soldiers. They were brought under the
power
of
Rome
, and eventually Galatia became a Roman province.
Paul
traveled through Galatia twice and churches (in the plural) were formed there. To these his Epistle was addressed (Gal. 1:2). It is not known at what towns these churches were gathered. Though the inhabitants were principally
Gentiles
, we learn from 1 Peter 1:1 That there were Jews there also (Acts 16:6; Acts 18:23; 1 Cor. 16:1; 2 Tim. 4:10). The inhabitants were addressed as GALATIANS (Gal. 3:1).
