Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Epistle of Paul to the Philippians: Expanded in a Paraphrase and Explained in Notes With Map and Introduction Philippi, situated eight miles inland from Neapolis, at the head of the Ægæan Sea, and visited by Paul on his second missionary journey, is interesting as, being the first city in Europe to which the Gospel was carried by an apostle. It is, moreover, a place of peculiar interest on account of Luke´s detailed and vivid account, in the sixteenth chapter of the Book of the Acts, of what occurred there in connection with the work of Paul and his associates. Renan´s description of the road from Neapolis to Philippi may give us a somewhat overdrawn picture, but doubtless it contains a considerable measure of reality. Referring to Paul and his company as they started from the port towards the famous inland city, he says. "They ascended the paved and cut slope in the rocks which overlook Neapolis, crossed the little chain of mountains which forms the coast, and entered the beautiful plain in the centre of which stands detached upon a projecting promontory of the mountain, the city of Philippi. Everything indicated habits honest, serious, and amenable. One felt himself to be in a centre analogous to that in which the poetry of Virgil was created. The evergreen plain was favorable for the various culture of vegetables and flowers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
