How many Antiochs are in Paul's history, and where are they?
According to the scriptural record, there are two Antiochs in Paul's history. One is the Antioch in Syria, the city he came from. The other is Antioch of Pisidia, located in western Turkey in Asia Minor, not the Antioch back in Syria.
Les explains that there are two Antiochs in Paul's history. The first is the Antioch back in Syria, the one Paul came from. The second is Antioch of Pisidia in western Turkey, in Asia Minor. He emphasizes it is not the Antioch in Syria. He is preparing to look briefly at Paul's message in the Jewish synagogue in Antioch of Pisidia, where Paul rehearses Israel's history much like Stephen did in Acts chapter 7. That area of Asia Minor was where Paul had his greatest work.
