希腊
描述
希腊是罗马帝国的重要东部省份,这可以从罗马国家文化被称为希腊-罗马文化中看出。几个世纪以来,希腊语一直是东方和意大利的通用语言,对于罗马精英来说,掌握希腊语与拉丁语一样自然,直到晚古时代。
与罗马东方的许多地方一样,希腊从公元初几个世纪开始受到基督教的日益影响。使徒保罗曾在哥林多和雅典传教,希腊很快成为帝国中基督教化程度最高的地区之一。

Greece
orginally consisted of the four provinces of Macedonia, Epirus, Achaia, and Peleponnesus. In (Acts 20:2) it designates only the Roman province of Macedonia. Greece was conquered by the Romans B.C. 146. After passing through various changes it was erected into an independent monarchy in 1831.
Moses makes mention of Greece under the name of Javan (Gen 10:2-5); and this name does not again occur in the Old Testament till the time of Joel (Joel 3:6). Then the Greeks and Hebrews first came into contact in the Tyrian slave-market. Prophetic notice is taken of Greece in (Dan 8:21).
The cities of Greece were the special scenes of the labours of the apostle Paul.
