The historical and cultural relations between Anatolia and the biblical world start at the beginning of the Old Testament (Genesis 2:14) with the Tigris and the Euphrates, two of the rivers which flow through the Garden of Eden, and terminate at the end of the New Testament (Revelation 16:12–15), again with the Euphrates where it dries up to allow the crossing of the forces of the nether world before the final battle at Armageddon. "The mountains of Ararat" on which the Ark came to rest, Noah's descendants by Japheth who populated this land, the Sea Peoples who devastated it and finally ended up in Palestine, the journeys of Paul and the letters of John are a few of the hallmarks which bind the history of Anatolia to the Bible. This long relation in its later history was supplemented by the great controversies of early Christianity which involved the Churches of Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria and Palestine and their solution in the Ecumenical Councils which were all held in Anatolia. Under about 70 headings and with 130 color pictures and maps this illustrated companion brings together the empires, religions, customs, people and holy places which are related both to Anatolia and the biblical world. Much of the information the book comprises is not easily accessible to the general reader as a whole anywhere else.
