Welcome

Hello and welcome!

You probably landed here because you're interested in the Apostle Paul's cities, ports and generally in his Missionary Journeys in Greece, Asia Minor and the surrounding Mediterranean countries. We take this study even further and add a presentation (through information, maps and photographs) of the routes he used between the known cities.

St. Paul's routes are a theme that most Commentaries and Atlases leave in a cloudy and vague state, drawing inaccurate lines on maps that perplex a potential step-by-step follower, photographer, or student of St. Paul's journeys. From this site you can be prepared to actually travel and cover some or all of his routes or you can do a fascinating couch journey through our presented material. In both cases, we are happy to have you around, as an actual or virtual follower of St. Paul's journeys and routes.

OUR INTENTIONS:

1. The H-Chart
The starting point and core of this site is the H-Chart, a detailed Harmony chart that presents Paul's life and travels, blending and paralleling information from the book of Acts and Paul's Epistles. You are welcome to make good use of it, as it is designed to bring your own study of Paul's journeys to a new level of overview and comprehension.
[progress of this task: complete]

2. Inserting/highlighting the routes in the H-Chart
You will notice that some sections of the H-Chart appear in turquoise highlighted cells. These turquoise cells contain Paul's routes that he used to travel from place to place. Therefore we also call them route cells.
[progress of this task: complete]

3. Make the turquoise cells [the route cells] clickable
Our desire for the H-Chart is to be fully clickable. We will start from the turquoise route cells, so when you click on them, the corresponding route will be presented on a new page, with a list and map of the route sites it contained.
[progress of this task: working now on it]

4. Make the city cells and the route sites clickable
Besides task nr. 3, what remains to become clickable are the known cities in the H-Chart (Ephesus, Athens, Antioch, Thessalonica, Philippi, Jerusalem, Iconium, etc) and the route sites that appear after you click on the turquoise route cells. Our intention are to transform all these site names to links and present every site (whether a known city mentioned in Acts or a route city/site) on a new page.
[progress of this task: will start working on it, after nr. 3 has reasonably progressed]

5. Complete photographic record of Paul's cities, ports and routes
Our major intention (beside the publication of related products and prints) is to establish a complete photographic record of St. Paul's cities, ports and route sites. We have worked toward this aim for several years and we intend to go on. You will be able to view samples of this photographic record in this site. Abundant photographic material is/will be available in our products and prints. The archive is also available to clients who request selections of our images. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in buying non-exclusive rights to selected images from Pauline places.
[progress of this task: started in 1994, goes on continually]

How you can contribute
Your contribution is welcome and will be much appreciated, so we leave the comment option on for all of our posts (for blog followers only). Every route city of St. Paul will have its own post, you can contribute there if you have visited it and have gathered or read (or bumped into) more info than we have. On the other hand, the cities mentioned in Acts and Paul's Epistles are well known, are the subject of many guidebooks, but if you discover a a detail worthy to be seen and mentioned, comment on the post of the site/city of interest.

How you cannot contribute

Thank you for your interest!
