Explore your roots in some of the actual
places where the Apostle Paul walked
in obedience to the Macedonian call.
Christianity's entrance into Europe
received its inspiration from this
particular call which occurred during St.
Paul's second missionary journey to Greece
in the autumn of AD 48.
You will enjoy a unique cross-cultural
experience located on the outskirts of
Athens, at the halfway point of the
original Marathon run, just a few miles
from the beautiful Aegean Sea, the Greek
Bible College provides a unique
setting for study, complete with modern
dorms on campus. Living and studying in
the place where Paul debated the
philosophers of his day, who mocked his
talk
of resurrection, will deepen your
understanding of the New Testament, and
increase your ability to communicate its
message.
Athens today is an intriguing crossroads,
with city and its inhabitants
blending elements of middle eastern,
Balkan and western culture. But beneath
the
flutter and flurry lies a beautiful
Mediterranean warmth that will envelope
you.
Choose from optional trips to archaeological sites, such as Mycenaean Tiryns,
Nafplio, Epidaurus Theatre and Marathon. From the port of Rafina, only 15
minutes from this college, there are daily ferries to the islands of Andros,
Tynos and Mykonos and more.
Typical weekends involve traveling,
outdoor adventures, visiting museums and
churches, volunteer work, walking tours
and free time. There are a number of
sites within walking distance from the
center of Athens. Among them are the
Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, Mars Hill, Syntagma Square,
Hadrian's Arch, Lycabettus Hill,
Monastiraki, National Gardens and the
Plaka area.
