A new edition of the definitive guide to the sites visited by St. Paul on his missionary journeys. Fully updated and redesigned with new maps and plans, and many new colour photographs. Expanded, with new sections on St John and his writing of the Book of Revelation on the island of Patmos, together with other Greek islands that may be visited as part of your holiday. Highlights include: the Seven Churches of the Revelation, notably Ephesus and Pergamum; the splendours of Istanbul and Athens; the glories of Ancient Greece and Macedonia. The islands of Cyprus and Malta, with their layers of history, are described. These lands are rich in reminders of the hardships faced by early Christians to establish their faith. This is an essential aid to prepare for a pilgrimage and a quality souvenir to evoke many lasting memories.
