Ephesus is one of the best reconstructed Greco-Roman cities in the world, and was once the hub of Christianity in Anatolia (modern Turkey). This impressive city was not only one of the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation but was also the headquarters of Paul’s three-year ministry to the Roman province of Asia. From here Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians and in Ephesus’ theatre, the infamous riot against the Christians recorded in the Book of Acts broke out. Here too, traditionally, the Apostle John wrote his Gospel and epistles and where he spent the last days of his life after returning from exile on Patmos. Ephesus was the launching point for the gospel’s continuous expansion into the western world. For decades biblical Turkey has been the focus of study for distinguished historians, Dr Mark Wilson and Dr Andrew Jackson. Now these old friends reunite and travel together on the road to Ephesus. Along the way they share their combined historical, archeological and biblical expertise to bring the scriptures to life for modern believers.
