About the Author

Sir William Mitchell Ramsay was a famous and well educated (Oxford) British Archaeologist. From 1880 onwards he traveled widely in Asia Minor and rapidly became the recognized authority on all matters relating to the districts associated with St Paul's missionary journeys and on Christianity in the early Roman Empire.

Ramsey's impact on historical and archaeological Church History is immense. Some of his most important works are: The Church in the Roman Empire, St Paul the Traveller and the Roman Citizen, Was Christ born at Bethlehem?, The Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia, The Cities of St Paul, Luke the Physician.

William M. Ramsay (1851-1939) studied at Aberdeen and Oxford and served as the first professor of classical art and archeology at Oxford. His studies of ancient culture and geography changed his own opinion of the New Testament and convinced him of the accuracy of Luke's writings. His works are many and include Historical Commentary on Galatians and The Letters to the Seven Churches.
