Paul's Epistle to the Galatians is important in two ways. It provides an insight into the Apostle Paul, and it provides important background regarding the history of early Christianity, against which the only other early Church history, Acts of the Apostles, can be compared and verified or corrected.

What happened after Paul wrote the letter to the Galatians?
AnswerPart of the reason for Paul's Epistle to the Galatians seems to be to seek money for the poor in Jerusalem, possibly during the Great Famine of 44-48 CE. At the same time, Paul was very defensive, referring to the Galatians as foolish for listening to other apostles who had been trying to undermine his work. He faced the risk of failing to collect for the Jerusalem Church, as he had promised its leaders (Galatians 2:10), or even of losing his own leadership of the Galatian Church altogether. In fact, the Epistle to the Galatians was preserved by the Galatians and eventually passed down to us, which implies that at least some of the community remained faithful to his version of Christianity.1 Corinthians 16:1 has good news, because it talks of the planned collection of money from the Galatian churches, apparently with some hope of success. Paul mentioned the collection somewhat later in Romans, listing only Macedonia and Achaia (Corinth) as contributing, to the obvious exclusion of the Galatians. There seems little doubt that, in the end, the Galatians did not contribute to Paul's collection. This could mean that the Galatians themselves were suffering too much to be able to contribute, or that some time after 1 Corinthians but before Romans, the Galatians cut their ties with Paul and joined a different branch of Christianity.
