The book covers a wide range of topics, including the political, social, and cultural developments of the region, the religious practices of the people, and the architecture and art of the cities. The author also explores the role of the bishoprics in the region, and their influence on the development of the Christian faith. The book is a valuable resource for historians, archaeologists, and anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Anatolia.1897. Part Two of Volume One. Ramsay, the first Professor of Classical Archaeology at Oxford University, pioneered the study of antiquity in what is today known as western Turkey. He went on to devote the latter part of his life to applying what he had learned to the study of the New Testament. He is also acknowledged as the outstanding authority on the life of Paul. In this work Ramsay attempts to throw some light on the question of how Phrygia has come to present the aspect that it now shows to the traveler. Contents of Part II.
