A Drive from Athens to Thessaloniki Reframed Paul for Me

Paul spent a significant part of his life traveling for days at a time—but the physical reality of those journeys is often missing from the way we interpret his letters. Professor Larsen travels the route from Athens to Thessaloniki and explores how distance, archaeology, travel conditions, and Paul’s companions can reshape our understanding of 1 Thessalonians and the development of his thought. The result is a more human, historically grounded, and dynamic picture of Paul. Subscribe for more cinematic explorations of biblical history, archaeology, and the ancient world.
