In the Footsteps of The Apostles: Turkey AND Greece
You are invited to join our 18-day tour to Turkey and Greece that Mary and I are leading in response to those who have asked us to put together a “not for credit” study tour—April 28 – May 15, 2025. I will be giving mini-lectures along the way both on the bus and on the sites, drawing from my studies and from the 30 trips that we have led to Turkey and Greece. We will relate what we are seeing to the New Testament and the Early Christian Church. Thus, it is not a mere tour, but a hands-on experience as we study the New Testament and its Greco-Roman background together!
Noteworthy! We will visit all 7 churches mentioned in Revelation 1-3 and places where 15 of the 27 New Testament books were written to and/or from! You will be amazed at what you will be learning along the way and May is perfect—not too hot and not too cold!

Ancient Pergamum (modern Bergama) is located in western Turkey 16.5 mi. [26.5 km.] inland (as the crow flies) from the Aegean Sea.
It is the third city mentioned in the book of Revelation (1:1; 2:12–17) and the reference to the "throne of Satan" (2:13) has variously been interpreted as emperor worship (note the Temple of Trajan), the altar of Zeus, or the worship of a plethora of deities at Pergamum (temples to Zeus, Athena, Dionysus, Asclepius, Serapis, Demeter, etc. have been found).
