Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Introductory Notes on the Early Church in Asia Minor
That Asia Minor should be a region of importance, in ecclesiastical as well as in secular affairs, is primarily the result of its natural position as a bridge between Europe and Asia. True, the popular presentation of Asia Minor as a causeway between western Asia and south-east Europe may not, perhaps, fully or accurately describe its features or functions yet its situation, nevertheless, as a bridge has always been a chief factor in its importance.
As a causeway and a bridge, Asia Minor inevitably served as the great battleground between East and West. The history of the country for centuries is a record of Persians and Arabs and Seljuk Turks in turn crossing and recrossing the peninsula in pursuit of their military aims.
