| About Ephesus - Ephesus Tours | Historians use terms to describe the ancient city of Ephesus like the supreme metropolis of Asia which reflects evidence of a highly developed city. By the time of the New Testament it was a city that had become a cultural and religious memory, a yesterday romance, not unlike Paris in the modern world. Filled with the symbols of greatness, but struggling in the economics of a changing world and a troublesome silting harbor, the bustling city continued to play a significant role, but was fading with time. for more... |

| About Istanbul - Istanbul Tours | The importance of the city in Christian History was striking, as one writer notes: When he made Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire, it was only natural he should take his role among the bishops of the church as if he were one of them. The Emperor fixed this into the physical structure of the city by making the church building the center of the city, which is still to be found in many eastern towns and cities. This church and state began to operate in a more uniform way in Constantinople, The New International Dictionary of Church History (p. 256). for more... |

| About St. Paul - St. Paul Tours | 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. for more... |
