<P> Paul 's letter is addressed `` to the churches of Galatia '' ( Galatians 1 : 2 ) , but the location of these churches is a matter of debate . A minority of scholars have argued that the `` Galatia '' is an ethnic reference to a Celtic people living in northern Asia Minor , but most agree that it is a geographical reference to the Roman province in central Asia Minor , which had been settled by immigrant Celts in the 270s BC and retained Gaulish features of culture and language in Paul 's day . Acts of the Apostles records Paul traveling to the `` region of Galatia and Phrygia '' , which lies immediately west of Galatia . </P>
