Biblical Anatolia
Turkey is called the
Other Holy Land as it
has more biblical sites
than any other country
in the Middle
East.
Unfortunately many
Christians are unaware
of Turkey unique role in
the Bible because
Biblical references
works usually refer to
this strategic
peninsula, that bounded
by the Mediterranean,
Aegean, and Black Seas,
as Asia Minor or
Anatolia. Turkey is very
important in
understanding the
background of the New
Testament, because
approximately two-thirds
of its books were
written either to or
from churches in Turkey
where the three major
apostles-Peter, St.
Paul, and St. John
-either ministered or
lived in.
About St. Paul
St. Paul, the great
Christian missionary,
was born perhaps in 10
CE, in the Cilician city
of Tarsus.
His family was Jewish
and from them he
inherited Roman
citizenship. St. Paul
was privileged to have
been born a Roman
citizen at a time when
it was not yet a
universal right for
people in the empire.
Initially confined to
freeborn natives of the
city itself, as Roman
control was extended
throughout Italy and
then to the lands
bordering the
Mediterranean and
beyond, certain
individuals and
communities were given
this right. At the time
of St. Paul's ancestors,
one way of attaining to
Roman citizenship was
serving in the Roman
army for twenty-five
years. However, because
of sabbath and Mosaic
food prescriptions this
profession would not
have been normally
possible for a Jew.
Seven Church of
Revelation
...I was caught up in
spirit on the Lord's day
and heard behind me a
voice as loud as a
trumpet, 'Write on a
scroll what you see and
send it to the seven
churches: to Ephesus,
Smyrna, Pergamum,
Thyatira, Sardis,
Philadelphia and
Laodicea.
About St. John
Knowledge of the life of
St. John of Patmos (also
known as the
'Theologian' or the
'Divine'), the author of
the Book of Revelation,
which includes the
letters to the seven
churches of Asia Minor,
mostly comes from
apocryphal stories
recorded after his
death. Christian
tradition identifies him
with Other New Testament
figures of the same
name, St. John the
Evangelist, the
traditional author of
the Fourth Gospel who is
also claimed to be St.
John the Apostle. The
accounts of the Gospels
agree that the latter is
the son of Zebedee;
together with his
brother James (the
Greater), he decided to
follow Christ while
fishing in the lake
Galilee. He became one
of Christ's closest
disciples and is said to
have been with him on
various significant
occasions such as the
Transfiguration and the
Crucifixion. According
to the Fourth Gospel.
