Download or read book A Guide to Biblical Sites in Greece and Turkey written by Clyde E. Fant and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-23 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly two-thirds of the New Testament--including all of the letters of Paul, most of the book of Acts, and the book of Revelation--is set outside of Israel, in either Turkey or Greece. Although biblically-oriented tours of the areas that were once ancient Greece and Asia Minor have become increasingly popular, up until now there has been no definitive guidebook for these important sites. In A Guide to Biblical Sites in Greece and Turkey, two well-known, well-traveled biblical scholars offer a fascinating historical and archaeological guide to these sites. The authors reveal countless new insights into the biblical text while reliably guiding the traveler through every significant location mentioned in the Bible. The book completely traces the journeys of the Apostle Paul across Turkey (ancient Asia Minor), Greece, Cyprus, and all the islands of the Mediterranean. A description of the location and history of each site is given, followed by an intriguing discussion of its biblical significance. Clearly written and in non-technical language, the work links the latest in biblical research with recent archaeological findings. A visit to the site is described, complete with easy-to-follow walking directions, indicating the major items of archaeological interest. Detailed site maps, historical charts, and maps of the regions are integrated into the text, and a glossary of terms is provided. Easy to use and abundantly illustrated, this unique guide will help visitors to Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus to appreciate the rich history, significance, and great wonder of the ancient world of the Bible.

Book Synopsis The Seven Churches of Asia Minor by : Dr. Orville R. Beckford Sr.
Download or read book The Seven Churches of Asia Minor written by Dr. Orville R. Beckford Sr. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever read about the seven churches of Asia Minor and wondered what they are all about, this book will help you get a deeper insight into the character of these churches. You will get a look at their geographical locations, their historical backgrounds, and their experiences that shaped the way Christ addressed them. Christ introduced himself to these seven churches in seven different ways because their works were different, and he wrote them according to their works. The church of Ephesus--the first of the seven--left its first love, and the last of the seven, the Church of Laodicea, focused on material wealth without recognizing that Christ was on the outside knocking, seeking the opportunity to come in. The Seven Churches of Asia Minor will take you through each church one by one; it will help you to identify actions for which they were admonished or encouraged. Five out of these seven churches were admonished, warned, and given specific steps to take for their restoration; they could take these steps or face the consequences meted by Christ himself. The Seven Churches of Asia Minor will be an eye-opener for churches and individuals alike.

Book Synopsis Following in the Footsteps of St Paul by : Mark Cowling
Download or read book Following in the Footsteps of St Paul written by Mark Cowling and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excellent companion for anyone on a tour following in the footsteps of St Paul around the Mediterranean.From reading the Acts of the apostles all my life, I realised I knew very little about the context and culture of the people St Paul reached out to through his missionary journeys with the good news of Jesus Christ. I've come back having discovered he was reaching out to the foundations of our western world civilisation, from it Pax Romana styled government to its conflict between theism and atheism that flowed out of the Acropolis in Athens. I feel excited about a new opportunity: Firstly, to see young adult Christians take this tour in order to grow in faith and leadership which is very much needed for the health of the church today. Secondly, think about exercising leadership on three levels as Paul did -to the individual, to the group or congregation and through institutions. And thirdly, to remember the persecuted church all over the world who faithfully follow in the footsteps on the early apostles. This booklet echoes the words of our fantastic tour guides, the wonderful "For Everyone" commentaries of Tom Wright and my own reflections: -Time travelling back 2,000 years to get closer than I ever thought possible to St Paul the apostle of Jesus Christ.-Understanding more about the inspiring, tragic and extraordinary story of the Christians living in the Roman empire in the first century.-Learning about the challenges of being Christ's ambassador for reconciliation and peace-making in a fallen world and discovering seeds of hope.
Book Synopsis Lucan Perspective on Paul by : Janusz Kucicki
Download or read book Lucan Perspective on Paul written by Janusz Kucicki and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite all scientific doubts regarding Acts, Luke’s writing was and still is an extremely important source for understanding the man who contributed the most (directly or indirectly) to the canon of the New Testament. Luke is the first (known to us) person who recognized the importance of Paul’s life and his mission activities, as well as Paul’s innovative interpretation of the whole Jewish tradition (that can be compared only with Copernicus’ statement) that resulted in a totally new concept of the relationship between mankind and God, where the center of the relationship is Jesus of Nazareth, the Resurrected Messiah for both Jews and Gentiles. Although Luke “did not save Paul for us” because Paul produced many writings on his own, he did however give us a very important look at Paul that balanced the rejection of Paul as the Jewish teacher with his indispensable contribution to transferring the Jewish concept of God into the Hellenistic religions’ systems. Without the Acts of the Apostles, we would have to create a picture of Paul based on his writings, which is quite a challenging task. If the letters of Paul gave us some accounts about Paul’s attitude and thoughts in particular situations, then Luke’s Acts supplies this particular perspective with a deeper evaluation of Paul by a second witness. Luke definitely wants to present to the reader(s) “his Paul”, who does not necessarily have to be unlike “the historical Paul”.
