Literature | Seven Churches of Asia (1) Ephesos, founded by St. Paul, 57, in a ruinous state in the time of Justinian. (2) Smyrna, still an important seaport. Polycarp was its first bishop. (3) Pergamos, renowned for its library. (4) Thyatira, now called Ak-hissar (the White Castle). (5) Sardis, now a small village called Sart. (6) Philadelphia, now called Allah Shehr (City of God), a miserable town. (7) Laodice'a, now a deserted place called Eski-hissar (the Old Castle). It is strange that all these churches, planted by the apostles themselves, are now Mahometan. Read what Gamaliel said, Acts v. 38, 39. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
