4.5 Midweek Podcast: Introduction to Paul and Galatians

In this midweek podcast we do a deep dive into Paul’s biography, the conditions for the letter to the Galatians, and discuss some of the manuscript evidence for the letter.

Codex Vaticanus, early 4th c. – Galatians begins on p. 1488
Codex Sinaiticus, 4th c. – for the beginning of Galatians, go to f. 278 v., or image 556
Codex Ephremi, 5th c. – you can see what a palimsest looks like. The contents are all jumbled up from when the pages were rebound.
