Ancient Geography and the Book of Acts

Dr. Michael Theophilos presents a free seminar on ancient Geography and the Book of Acts.

Spanning one-ninth of the earth's circumference across three continents, the Roman Empire ruled a quarter of humanity through complex networks of political power, military domination and economic exchange. Conventional maps that represent the ancient Roman world fail to capture the severe environmental constraints that governed the flow of people, goods and information. The purpose of this seminar is to understand the basic principles of how the geographic possibilities of travel throughout the Mediterranean world functions as an indispensable feature of studying the book of Acts in its historical context.
