Mary and I are excited to offer for the very second time an exciting, handcrafted adult "study" trip entitled Following Paul from Shipwreck on Malta to Martyrdom in Rome. We begin our tour on Malta where the Maltese diver Mark Gatt will guide our exploration (on land and sea) of the bays where the shipwreck of Paul may have occurred as well as the Island of Malta. Then, just as Paul left Malta, we will ferry to Syracuse on Sicily. In Italy, we will visit the well–preserved remains of the Roman town of Pompeii that was destroyed by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in AD 79. It has a lot to teach us about life in New Testament times!
After exploring Puteoli where Paul landed (Acts 28:13), we will follow the via Appia to Rome. Our cohost, Dr. Thompson is a leading expert on the via Appia and he will share the results of his research. We will spend four days exploring the wonderful archaeological and traditional sites of Rome—the city where Paul and Peter were martyred.
Dr. Thompson and I will be giving mini-lectures along the way both on the bus and on the sites, drawing from our studies and from the numerous times we have visited the area. We will relate what we are seeing to the New Testament and the Early Christian Church. Thus, this is not a mere tour, but a hands-on experience as we study the New Testament and its Greco Roman background together!
We hope you will join us! Contact us soon if you are interested (2footstepstours@gmail.com).
