I managed to dig up another map I can use from Wikimedia Commons. This one shows the three missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul which are mentioned in the Bible, as well as the initial stage of his first imprisonment and way to Rome. You can find the map here.

Again the map needed translating and a bit of tweaking. I really enjoyed translating this one, however, as it was in Greek. During the process, I realised that I can read Greek, even if only to a limited extent! I shouldn't be surprised, really: any scientist should be able to understand the Greek alphabet. Then, translating a word letter-by-letter (and being aware of the geographical location on the map) you quickly realises, for example, that ΚΥΠΡΟΣ is "CYPRUS" (word written in capital letters seem to be easier to read) and Ιερουσαλήμ is "Jerusalem". Now I won't doubt my Physics lecturer any more because he said that, once he graduated, he went on holiday to the Greek islands and could read Greek without any formal training in the language. This also got me excited for starting with the Greek part of my language studies on this website. I am, however, still going to finish up the Hebrew first.

I have also decided that I am going to start with my study of Ephesians soon. I want to have it finished by the start of the Fresh Start camp at the beginning of next year, which would mark one year since we first started looking at the book of Ephesians at TBT for the year 2009.
