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.
