    Description

    Phoenicia in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Phoenicia was an ancient region and civilization located along the Mediterranean coast, primarily in modern-day Lebanon and parts of Syria and Israel. The Phoenicians were known for their maritime skills, extensive trade networks, and their development of the alphabet. In the New Testament, Phoenicia is mentioned in the context of the early spread of Christianity. After the persecution that arose following Stephen's death, some believers traveled as far as Phoenicia, preaching the gospel (Act.11.19). Later, when Paul and Barnabas were returning from the Jerusalem Council, they passed through Phoenicia, bringing joy to the believers there (Act.15.3). During Paul's final journey to Jerusalem, he sailed to Tyre, a city in Phoenicia, where he stayed with disciples for seven days (Act.21.2-4). Although the Phoenicians are not mentioned extensively in the Bible, their region played a role in the spread of the gospel in the early church era.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
