St Paul in Roman Asia Minor by Lennox Manton
This book illuminates the journeys of Saint Paul in Roman Asia Minor in a way that has not previously been attempted and the discussion presented here is in no way an effort to discuss various aspects of Saint Paul's theology. Saint Paul was reticent with the details of his journeys and this has given rise to much subsequent learned speculation as to their actual course and possible deviations. In the nineteen sixties I drove over the course of Saint Paul's journeys, visiting those cities known to him. Many of the roads, especially that between Laodicea and Antalya, had very poor surfaces and I speculated then that these roads must have been much worse in Saint Paul's time. I was drawn to the conclusion that St Paul's journeys may have deviated from historical and theological accepted wisdom and in this book I have proposed what I believe to be some likely variations in the routes of parts of his journeys.
E. Lennox Manton is a retired dental surgeon who now lives in Stirling, Scotland. He has long been interested in the ramifications of the Roman Empire and to this extent has visited the Roman sites in North Africa. He was asked to write a book on the Roman occupation of North Africa which he did, it was published in 1988 and subsequently became a part of the bibliography for the Degree in Archaeology at Leicester University. He then went on to write two monographs, one of which is recorded on the Internet under the title The Cappadocian frescoes and the Turin Shroud. Lennox became more interested in St Paul's Journeys in Asia Minor and over the years visited the sites associated with his journeys.
