That is why he describes the Jewish religious traditions in detail. Its for his Greek audience in particular who have no knowledge of Jewish religious practices.

The first gentile converts came from Peter in Caesarea (Caesars area)
Cornelias is a roman centurion who believes in God.
An angel sends a message to Cornelias telling him to go to Peter.
Peter had a vision that unclean animals were sent from heaven for him to eat but he would not because they were unclean.
A voice told Peter, "What God has made clean do not call unclean". The Jewish people looked upon the Gentiles as unclean. God was telling Peter that the Gentiles were not unclean.
As Peter is praying with them the Holy Spirit descends upon them. Peter now knows the message is for everyone,

• The writer of this letter was the apostle Paul
• The book was probably written in the early spring of a.d. 57. Very likely Paul was on his third missionary journey, ready to return to Jerusalem with the offering from the mission churches for poverty-stricken believers in Jerusalem.
• The original recipients of the letter were the people of the church at Rome (1:7), who were predominantly Gentile.
• Paul's primary theme in Romans is the basic gospel, God's plan of salvation and righteousness for all humankind, Jew and Gentile alike.
• Paul's purposes for writing this letter were varied:
  He wrote to prepare the way for his coming visit to Rome and his proposed mission to Spain
  He wrote to present the basic system of salvation to a church that had not received the teaching of an apostle before
  He sought to explain the relationship between Jew and Gentile in God's overall plan of redemption. The Jewish Christians were being rejected by the larger Gentile group in the church because the Jewish believers still felt constrained to observe dietary laws and sacred days
• Paul begins by surveying the spiritual condition of all people. He finds Jews and Gentiles alike to be sinners and in need of salvation. That salvation has been provided by God through Jesus Christ and his redemptive work on the cross. It is a provision, however, that must be received by faith -- a principle by which God has always dealt with humankind, as the example of Abraham shows.

Paul wrote Galatians to address a theological crisis within the churches in Galatia, where some Jewish Christians (known as "Judaizers") were teaching that Gentile believers needed to follow Jewish customs and the Mosaic Law to be considered true Christians and to achieve salvation.

Paul vehemently rejects this idea, emphasizing that salvation is entirely by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not through works of the law.

Paul defends his apostolic authority and the legitimacy of his message, asserting that his gospel is not derived from human tradition but from a direct revelation from Jesus Christ.

Galatians is a foundational text for understanding the core tenets of Christian faith, particularly the concept of salvation by grace through faith, and the freedom that believers have in Christ.

The main point of Ephesians is that believers in Christ are reconciled to God and each other, united in His church, and called to live a life of holiness and unity, reflecting the grace and power of God in their lives

The Book of Ephesians in the Bible is a letter from Paul to the Christians in Ephesus. It's about reconciliation, unity, and living a Christian life.

There are three main themes of Ephesians: (1) Christ has reconciled all creation to himself and to God; (2) Christ has united people from all nations to himself and to one another in his church; and (3) Christians must live as new people.

Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you" (Ephesians 5:14)

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church (Ephesians 5:22)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right (Ephesians 6:1)
