Ruinele Efesului

Weathered stone steps rise beside an arched doorway in the ruins of ancient Ephesus, with broken masonry, hillside terrain, cypress trees, and a palm standing over the excavated remains. The setting evokes the enduring memory of one of the most important cities of the early church, where the apostle Paul taught, where believers publicly turned from idolatry, and where a Christian community later received both apostolic instruction and the Lord’s call to renewed first love. The aged stones speak to the contrast between earthly cities that fall into ruin and the gospel witness that continues through Scripture. Useful for teaching on Ephesus, New Testament history, Paul’s missionary work, the Seven Churches of Revelation, biblical archaeology, and early Christian ministry in Asia Minor.
