In the early 1930s, H.V. Morton retraced the steps of St Paul from his birthplace at Tarsus to the scene of his martyrdom in Rome. 'The modern traveller who takes the Acts of the Apostles as his guide-book, as I have done,' writes Morton in his Introduction, 'journeys into a part of the world which once enjoyed the unity of the Roman Empire and is now divided among many nations.' But, as his remarkable book reveals, the essential nature of the sites he visited has not altered. Alive with discovery, anecdote and humour this is at once travelogue and history of the highest order. From Syria through Turkey, Macedonia, Greece, Rhodes, Malta and Italy, 'In the Steps of St Paul' is an outstanding guide for any traveller, and the vivid, resonant account of a very personal pilgrimage. 'In the Steps of St Paul' is the second volume in Morton's famous trilogy, which also includes 'In the Steps of the Master' and 'Through Lands of the Bible'.

This is the book for you - if you love history, bible archeology, and studying the growth of the Christian Church. St. Paul travelled thousands of miles through Asia Minor (Turkey) on foot, starting churches, teaching in synagogues about Christ, and sometimes clashing with the local Roman authorities.
The author, H.V. Morton, who actually walked and rode Paul's footsteps of 2000 years ago, visited most of the cities where St. Paul went. Some cities are gone, but Mr. Morton nevertheless found remains of them by walking where they once existed.
Not only does Morton give us a good "look" at the countryside, he also relates his experiences dealing with the new Turkish government, the one that overthrew the ancient Ottoman Empire.
