Which of the Pauline epistles contains his (probably) earliest statement of the doctrine of justification by faith?
ARomans.
BGalatians.✓ Correct Answer
C1 Thessalonians.
D2 Thessalonians.
Answer & Explanation
✓ Galatians.
There are a lot of disputes about the chronology of Paul's epistles, but Galatians was most likely the first, and if not, one of the earliest. But the epistles that scholars propose might have come earlier do not describe his "salvation by faith" theology, which is a major focus of Galatians. (Acts 9-28)
