The Archaeology of New Testament Cities in Western Asia Minor (Baker Studies in Biblical Archaeology) Paperback 1980

What can archaeology reveal about the world of the early church? In The Archaeology of New Testament Cities in Western Asia Minor, noted scholar Edwin M. Yamauchi explores the material evidence behind some of the most significant cities mentioned in the New Testament—Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Laodicea, and others.

With clarity and depth, Yamauchi brings together historical sources, archaeological discoveries, and biblical texts to provide a vivid picture of the social, cultural, and religious life of these ancient centers. Readers will gain fresh insights into the challenges faced by the first Christians and the context in which the gospel spread across the Greco-Roman world.

Part of the Baker Studies in Biblical Archaeology series, this volume is both a valuable resource for students and pastors and an engaging introduction for general readers who want to see how spades and stones illuminate Scripture.
