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.

(Note: this is the Black and White version of the same book in color). Thirteen of the 27 books in the New Testament are attributed to the Apostle Paul. He amazingly travelled over 10,000 miles in his quest to spread Christianity. But lost in history is that his last missionary trip between the years 64-66AD was to Hispania, as Spain was known during Roman Empire times. In this book Dr. Figueredo connects a number of historical and biblical elements previously considered unrelated to the Apostle Paul's missionary trip to Hispania. He then connects them to new evidence he has uncovered to weave a new set of arguments that together present the compelling evidence that Paul did in fact make his last missionary trip to Hispania. Unfortunately, upon his return to Rome in the middle of the brutal persecution of Christians by Emperor Nero, he was quickly arrested and beheaded. In the process of researching Paul's visit to Hispania, Dr. Figueredo uncovered some amazing historical facts that position Hispania/Spain as a Christian Region that became just as important as Rome in the early evolution of Christianity. For example, did you know that the first Christian Council ever in the history of the Church, where strict rules and norms were published for Christians to follow, took place in Hispania in the year 302AD? These rules and norms had a lot of the same characteristics of Paul's letters, and they were published by the 19 Bishops present in this Council, all of them from Hispania, without consulting with Rome, Jerusalem, nor any other Christian region at that time. These bishops felt they had the authority to publish such strict rules and norms, and to do it independent of Rome or Jerusalem. They must have been given that authority directly by one of the Apostles, who himself must have felt he had the independent authority to proclaim his version of what Christ had instructed him. The only Apostle that fits this description is Paul of Tarsus.Did you also know that the Bishop that Emperor Constantine named to preside over the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, considered the most important Council in the history of the Church, was Bishop Osio from Cordoba, in Hispania? Why would Constantine choose a Bishop from Hispania and not the Bishop of Rome, nor the Bishop of Jerusalem, nor even of Constantinople, to preside over the Council of Nicaea, attended by over 300 other bishops from Christendom? This is the Council from which we get the Nicene Creed, the statement of faith for all Christians, recited every day in Mass, and it was presided by a Bishop from Hispania. Constantine had to have felt that Christianity in Hispania had advanced to the most important levels of the religion, and that Bishop Osio would have had the independent authority to strongly support his beliefs of what this new religion represented. And Osio's independent authority must have come from the only Apostle who considered himself independent from the Twelve Apostles in Jerusalem. Did you also know Spain led the most important expansion of the religion in the history of Christianity? These and other important historical and biblical elements are presented by Dr. Figueredo. EXPLORE the remarkable evidence uncovered by Dr. Figueredo that leave no doubt Paul made Hispania his las missionary trip and DISCOVER the astonishing historical findings that confirm Spain's enormous influence in the evolution, protection, and expansion of Christianity.
