As the gospel was first shared with the world--and as the first missionaries fanned out to tell the good news in different regions--it is helpful to know something about the locations mentioned and how widespread those cities, towns, and places were. . . . This can make the Bible accounts more real to us as we visualize them and become more familiar with them. --Dave Branon
