  • Faith Tourism Potential of Konya in Terms of Christian Sacred Sites
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by European Scientific Journal (European Scientific Institute) European Scientific Journal July 2015 /SPECIAL/ edition ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 FAITH TOURISM POTENTIAL OF KONYA IN TERMS OF CHRISTIAN SACRED SITES Dr. Gamze Temizel Dr. Melis Attar Selcuk University, Faculty of Tourism,Konya/Turkey Abstract Among the countries In the Middle East, Turkey is the second country that has the most biblical sites after Israel. It is called as ―The Other Holy Land‖ because of this reason. The land of Turkey which is bounded by the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black Seas is referred as Asia Minor or Anatolia in Biblical reference works. Asia Minor or Anatolia as mentioned in history or the present day Turkey is important for Christianity to understand the background of the New Testament. Approximately two-thirds of New Testament books were written either to or from churches in Turkey. The three major apostles; Peter, Paul, and John either ministered or lived in Turkey. Turkey‘s rich spiritual heritage starts at the very beginning in the book of Genesis. Konya or Iconium as mentioned in history is one of the important cities of Turkey in terms of its historical and cultural heritage. It‘s a city that has an important place both in Christian and Islamic world, even in history and present day. Although Konya is famous today because of its Muslim mosques, its theological schools and its connection with the great Sufi mystic Celaleddin Rumi; better known as Mevlana, the 13th century Sufi mystic, poet, philosopher and founder of the Mevlevi order of whirling dervishes, Konya has a biblical significance since it was mentioned in the New Testament as one of the cities visited by Apostle Paul.

  • 6B. Paul's Third Journey
    nt church history II. Third Journey AD 53–57. Acts 18:23–21:16 Paul retraced the route of his second journey through Galatia and Phyrgia (presumably Derbe, Lystra, Iconium, Pisidian Antioch), “strengthening all the disciples” (18:23 cf. 14:22; 15:32, 41). He continued, probably along via Sebaste, to Ephesus, the trip he wanted to make on the second journey. Antioch–Ephesus 750 mi/1200 km. A. Ephesus Capital of the province of Asia. Had been a major port, but the harbor had been silting up. Custodian (neōkoros 19:35) of the cult of Artemis of Ephesus. Artemis (Roman Diana) was a fertility goddess and the goddess of hunting. The Temple of Artemis was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. 1. John’s Baptism In Ephesus were those who knew only the baptism of John (the Baptist): 1. Apollos of Alexandria (18:24-28): had come to Ephesus, an eloquent speaker but knowing only the baptism of John. Presumably through disciples of John the Baptist he had accepted that Jesus was the Messiah and the call to repentance, but did not know of his death and resurrection and the gift of the Spirit and their signifcance. Though he taught accurately (ἀκριβῶς) the things of Jesus, Priscilla and Aquila taught him more accurately (ἀκριβέστερον). With a letter of commendation, he went to Achaia (province, capital Corinth), where he was a powerful speaker (cf. 1 Cor 1–4). 2. Twelve disciples of John (19:1-7): 2. Paul’s ministry in Ephesus 1.

  • The Biblical City of Antioch of Pisidia
    Antioch Of Pisidia “But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.” (Acts 13:14) © 2020 David Padfield www.padfield.com Scripture taken from the New King James Version. Copyright 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Antioch Of Pisidia Introduction I. Of the sixteen ancient cities in Turkey named Antioch, only two are of any significance to Bible students today. A. One is now called Antakya (Antioch of Syria; Antioch on the Orontes), and the other is Antioch of Pisidia (Pisidian Antioch). B. Both cities played a major part in the early days of the church. II. Around A.D. 50, Paul visited Antioch of Pisidia on his first evangelistic journey (Acts 13:13–14), and his first recorded sermon was preached there (Acts 13:15–51). Discussion I. The History Of Antioch A. Antioch of Pisidia is located ½ mile north of the village of Yalvaç in the Isparta province in southern Turkey. B. After the death of Alexander the Great, Seleucus I Nicator, founder of the Seleucid Dynasty, took control of Pisidia (c. 330–280 B.C.). 1. “Seleucus Nicator I had nearly 60 cities founded and gave to 16 of them the name of his father and son: Antiochos” (Ünal Demirer, Pisidian Antioch, 20). 2. The cities he captured were soon Hellenized, and fortified cities were built at strategically important places. 3. Judging from coins minted around that time, the city must have been economically prosperous. C. In 188 B.C., the Romans defeated Antiochus III and declared Antioch of Pisidia a free city.

  • Four Cities of Galatia During Paul’S Time, Galatia Was a Roman Province in Iconium Central Asia Minor, Now Known As Turkey
    Four Cities of Galatia During Paul’s time, Galatia was a Roman province in Iconium central Asia Minor, now known as Turkey. The ancient Iconium was an important city, mentioned six times name originated from the Latin “Gallia,” the land of the in the New Testament. The modern city of Konya in Gauls of western Europe. The Greeks called these people Turkey is the site of the ancient city. “Galatai.” Iconium was located in a small plain, almost 3,400 When Paul wrote the letter to the Galatians, this feet above sea level.

  • Timeline for Paul's Journeys
    Timeline for Paul’s Journeys Mark R. Fairchild, PhD ***There are few time anchors to date when Paul arrived at the destinations mentioned in Acts. ***The following times are largely speculative guesses regarding the length of the apostle’s journeys and the amount of time spent in each of the locations. For the sake of the chronology, I will assume that Paul spent one month in most of the cities that he visited according to Acts. It does not appear likely that a church could be established in these places in less time. Acts mentioned longer visits at some cities, such as Corinth and Ephesus. One must bear in mind that Paul and his companions also spent time in other cities and towns not mentioned in Acts. Luke may have omitted those sites from his narrative because the visits were more brief or because the villagers were unresponsive to the Gospel. These visits may have been as short as a week or less. One must also factor in the time taken to travel the distances to each city. One might assume 15 miles per day over level ground, but perhaps half that in the mountains. Journeys on the seas by ship were faster, averaging 60 miles per day, depending upon the winds. Antioch ================================================ 1 year First Mission – Approximately Two or Two and a Half Years – Minimum 1580 Miles Salamis ==== 1 month Paphos ==== 1 month Perga ==== 1 month Psidian Antioch ======== 2 months Iconium ======== 2 months – “long time” Acts 14:3 Lystra ==== 1 month Derbe ==== 1 month ***On the journey returning from Derbe to Lystra, Iconium, Pisidian Antioch and Atallia probably would have been shorter visits, perhaps two weeks in each city.

  • Gambill 1 Clara Gambill HIST 396/IS 392 Professor Tim Howe 29
    Gambill 1 Clara Gambill HIST 396/IS 392 Professor Tim Howe 29 January, 2020 Exploring Domestic Space in Rough Cilicia Abstract This presentation discusses the architectural phases (Roman – Middle Byzantine) of a multi-story structure uncovered at Antiochia ad Cragum during the 2019 excavation season . This structure, which spanned the Roman, Late Roman and Byzantine periods (2nd century – 7th century), provides evidence of domestic transition. As this paper will suggest, the inhabitants of Antiochia transformed private domestic spaces into facilities of agricultural production. One structure that seems to illustrate this theory has been located at the base of the Acropolis, south-east of the Agora. Since this is the first domestic space to be studied at Antiochia, the evidence presented here offers a preliminary framework for new research. Since only a single room of the structure has been excavated thus far, the analysis will focus on the Late Roman construction of a wine press. An oversized African imported Amphora, Hydria, and Cypriot pottery were found in the soil immediately covering the press surfaces. We initially identified this area as a wine press due to its shape and makeup; the floor is rectangular and constructed with mortar. The wine press appears similar to other wine presses of the period located throughout Asia minor and the Southern Levant but with some important differences: the wine press at Antiochia is unique for its simple structure. For example, there is no evidence for the existence of a connecting vat. This paper will analyze why this wine press was built inside a Gambill 2 domestic space.
