To begin, Malik referenced several other works surrounding the textual conveyance of the Book of Revelation. Bousset’s work on the matter of text corrections was a…

Paul begins his his letter by introducing himself and sends greeting to the church in Galatia. Then, he dives right in by asking why the church is letting others distort the gospel that Paul has given them. He then goes onto say that this gospel is directly from God, and he can prove that through his own conversion to Christianity. He writes a brief summary of how Jesus called him to turn from his evil ways, on the road to Damascus. Paul continues by talking about how he met the apostles in…
