The Gospel That Began in Tarsus

A documentary series on the city where Paul was born and the road that led out of it — drawn from the Library one chapter at a time. Every claim keeps its register — Scripture, tradition or scholarship; scenes marked “Dramatised reconstruction” are illustrations, not footage. Each episode continues where the last one ended.

    No Mean City

    Tarsus, and the silent years of St Paul

    The city where Paul was born — the river Cydnus, the Cilician Gates, the mound of Gözlükule, a city of Stoic teachers — and the nearly ten years between Damascus and Antioch that the sources leave in silence.

    Drawn from: Tarsus · Roman Tarsus · The Apostle Paul
