Ephesus (Asia Minor)

"To the angel of the church of Ephesus write"  (Rev. 2:1)
Ephesus was a bustling port city and a center of trade, commerce, and culture in the region. It had a magnificent theater, a library, and the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The city was home to a diverse population, including followers of various religions, which provided a unique backdrop for early Christian outreach and teachings.

The presence of the Christian community in Ephesus was significant, and it is believed that Timothy and John the Apostle were also associated with the city. The early Christians faced challenges in this polytheistic environment, which is discussed in the New Testament.

​The Apostle Paul spent around three years there during his missionary journeys, and he wrote the Epistle to the Ephesians to the Christian community in Ephesus.
