Ephesus, a significant city in ancient times, was instrumental in the spread of early Christianity. Its prime location on the western coast of Asia Minor made it a bustling center of culture, religion, and commerce within the Roman Empire.

Among the notable early Christian figures, St. Paul the Apostle is particularly prominent. He first visited Ephesus around 52 AD, but it was during his third journey (54–57 AD) that he made a significant impact through his teachings, discussions, and letters that influenced early Christian theology.

Exploring Ephesus today — from the Great Theater where Paul might have preached to the agora where he engaged in discussions — brings the New Testament to life. His enduring influence in this city is part of a vibrant faith that continues to inspire.
