I love the details. I am somewhat concerned that we continue to say “Paul led the First Missionary Journey” when it was clearly led by Barnabas and Saul/Paul was an intern as was John Mark.

Barnabas went to recruit Saul from Tarsus and then included him in his study group at Antioch. When the Holy Spirit said, “Set aside Barnabas and Saul,” it was obvious that Barnabas was the head man. Later, of course, the pagans called Barnabas Zeus as the “top god” in Acts 14.

Fairchild’s map is rather inaccurate and not linked to the photos, which suggest that St P went via the ‘Royal road’ thru’ the Çandır canyon and the unnamed site at Sütçüler and Adada. If this is the case, he did not go to Sagalassos, which is far off the N-S route. Milyas is misplaced (if he means Milli, it is SW from Pednelissos), Cremna, Adada, Parlais and the important road junction at Gönen are unplaced and Eğirdir lake was in fact 2 lakes – Hoyran and Eğirdir – until recently.

Mark,
These are wonderful pictures of an area I haven’t yet visited. Is it possible to get permission to use for a Bible Study?

Thank you,
