Parallels between Romans and Galatians While it may seem quite evident, the first parallel between Romans and Galatians is their author: Paul. While written to different churches and regions, both letters are addressed to Christians.

In the “10,000-Hour Rule”, Malcolm Gladwell argues that innate talent is not the biggest factor in success, but rather the amount practiced and the opportunities given. To prove his point, he refers to the Beatles, a rock band that became famous in the 1960s, and how they went through other experiences and challenges within their career that developed them into what they were. These experiences forced them to go through extremely…
