For many people, the events of the Bible seem to take place in some magical and distant world of a “Bible Land”. We read about places the Bible talks about, such as Jerusalem, Corinth, Nazareth, and Ephesus and picture a whole different world that our childhood biblical books illustrate for us. The truth is, is that the more we know about the locations mentioned in the bible, the better we can understand the meaning of the stories.
Ephesus is one of the most important cities that are mentioned in the Bible. It is located along Asia Minor, which is modern day Turkey and 5 miles inland of the Aegean Coast. It is near the town of Selcuk. A lot of tourists visit Ephesus by the port city of Kusadasi, which is about a 45-minute drive from Ephesus.
