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 through 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 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 appreciate the rich history, significance, and great wonder of the ancient world of the Bible.

This book in the Pilgrim’s Guide series is a fascinating tour of five of the modern-day countries visited by those who wish to follow in the footsteps of the apostle Paul. All of the Pauline sites are covered. While each country is featured in its own chapter in order to follow the most likely itineraries of present-day travelers, the story of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, which led to his four missionary journeys, is covered in introductory sections. Like all the guides in this series, this is profusely illustrated in full color with over twenty-five photographs, and several maps and plans. It is an essential aid to prepare for a pilgrimage and a quality souvenir of many lasting memories.
