Endnote 7 – Why Perga?

Paul’s journeys in Acts follow this pattern. Luke’s narrative notes that Paul almost always speaks at synagogues in the cities along his route. Paul’s letter to the Romans (1:16) also supports this plan. See Eckhard J. Schnabel, Paul the Missionary: Realities, Strategies and Methods (Downers Grove, IL: IVP, 2008).
