## Facts: ##
|
|
|
|
During New Testament times, Greece was a province in the Roman Empire.
|
|
|
|
* Like the modern-day country of Greece, it was located on a peninsula that is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, the Aegean Sea, and the Ionian Sea.
|
|
* The apostle Paul visited several cities in Greece and established churches in the cities of Corinth, Thessalonica, and Philippi and probably others.
|
|
* People who are from Greece are called "Greeks" and their language is "Greek." People from other Roman provinces also spoke Greek, including many Jews.
|
|
* Sometimes the term "Greek" is used to refer to a Gentile.
