"Lands of the Bible 2010--Istanbul
Tuesday June 15, 2010
Certainly one of the most interesting and cosmopolitan cities in the world is Istanbul. This is a city of many names and many cultures, both east and west, indeed its residents like to boast that it is the only major city where East meets West, because it sits on two continents. Be that as it may, Istanbul=Byzantium=Constantinople is a city of major importance to the history of Christianity, even though it existed only as a small Roman town in the first century A.D."
