In the Steps of Saint Paul

In the Steps of Saint Paul by Peter Walker. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780745952369.

Drawing mainly on Lukes account in Acts, as well as on Pauls own letters, Peter Walker reconstructs Pauls wide-ranging travels, detailing some of the most important sites of the early church. We begin in Damascus, then follow Paul on his first and second missionary journeys, then trace his final visit to Jerusalem and Caesarea, and eventually arrive in Rome. Each chapter focuses on a particular site and includes: an opening section telling Pauls story within that location; a list of key dates giving readers an overview of significant events associated with that place; and a final section exploring the location as a visitor might encounter it today. Readers are transported to the rugged Cilician Gates of southern Turkey, the market places of Athens, Corinth and Ephesus, the bleak expanses of ancient Galatia, and the wintry, wind-swept shores of Malta.
