"You will see Paul's world come alive in the pages of this book" Leading New Testament scholar David deSilva explores the archaeology of particular sites and their relevance for thinking about Paul's missionary activity, his congregations, and his letters. "Drawing on his decades of scholarship, and with eloquent and jargon-free prose, deSilva tells an exciting story of the 'what, where, and how' of first-century life in the Roman Empire. Beautiful photos illuminate historical settings and invite readers to imagine themselves as travelers with Paul. An essential resource for scholars, pastors, and all curious Bible readers." --Lynn H. Cohick, Houston Christian University "What a rich source of information! DeSilva provides details and pictures that provoke the imaginations of all New Testament readers. The narratives surrounding the life and ministry of the apostle Paul and his associates come freshly to life with deSilva's discussions and depictions. An indispensable tool for group or individual study." --Dennis R. Edwards, North Park Theological Seminary "DeSilva offers an expert guided tour through key locations in Paul's life and ministry. You will see Paul's world come alive in the pages of this book, and it is bound to enrich your reading of Acts and Paul's letters." --Nijay K. Gupta, Northern Seminary "This carefully researched, lucidly written, richly illustrated, and handsomely produced volume is an essential guide for all who are interested in learning more about the archaeological record of sites associated with the far-flung ministry of Paul." --Todd D. Still, Baylor's Truett Seminary "DeSilva skillfully weaves together the biblical texts with ancient evidence of the civic, religious, and cultural life in each city Paul visited. The reader cannot help but come away with a deeper understanding of the context of the ancient world and the challenges Paul faced as he tirelessly worked to declare the gospel message." --Suzanne Nicholson, Asbury University "DeSilva has brought together his extensive knowledge of the world of the New Testament into a clear and user-friendly textbook for students of Paul's ministry." --Jarvis J. Williams, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
