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. People would also offer these replicated body parts analogous to their illness as votive offerings for healing. Just as a modern-day sports team would draw fans throughout the region on game day contributing to the local economy, Artemis drew pilgrims from the region on a continual basis. Regardless, there is little doubt that the Temple of Aphrodite atop the Acrocorinth would have literally cast a shadow on the town below. Drive on and visit the Theatre of Epidaurus famous for its remarkable acoustics. Besides the old stuff, one thing you quickly notice is the many stray dogs that roam the city.

Please try again later. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. On a study tour of Greece and Turkey I noticed my companions using this book. Since I dislike heavy books on trips I probably wouldn't have carried it but they often read sections to me and I marvelled at the wealth of information - history, archeology, legends, site information and maps and great pictures.
I broke down and purchased it after my trip and found that, as a teacher of Scripture it was an invaluable source. It supplemented my own travel notes and introduced me to facts I had missed on the journey.

Planned my trip with this book; it was comprehensive. Glad that it stated whether there was anything there to be seen ruins, museum because there isn't always things to see today from cities long ago. I like this book because of its biblical orientation; my purchase was made for this reason.
Each site covered in Greece and Turkey is described first as to its history and location, next as to biblical significance, and finally by an actual site visit section. This book has few if any color pictures. The authors mention that their book does not cover sites without significant biblical importance which means that Athens in Greece and Istanbul in Turkey get little or no coverage which means there are better books for visitors to Greece and Turkey not particularly interested in the book's biblical orientation.
Decidedly a good read for familiarization before setting out.

I cannot speak highly enough of this book. We recently visited Greece and Turkey following the footsteps of Paul 2nd missionary journey and the seven churches of the Revelation This is a marvellous handbook for all travellers in the region - and especially those with an interest in Biblical sites. The Biblical information, historical background and present day maps and photos were enlightening and hugely helpful. The journey was greatly enhanced by this guide and has been extremely helpful on our return.
It wets one's appetite for more travel and exploration. Since Greece and Turkey have many sites relating to our biblical history it is good to get some information before going on any tour.
Of cource there are many books on the subject and each one has a little different offering of information. Some book we keep, some we read and share. Some are used to enhance Bible study. I plan on using it for all of the above. One person found this helpful.

This was a delight to read in preparation for a trip to Turkey. The extensive information about sites was useful to re-read just before we visited, and the information about the sites' Biblical significance added a great deal to our trip. I'm glad I got the Kindle version instead of dragging a book around with us on the trip.
