Semesters in Greece

Aristotle Travel would like to offer you a wonderful opportunity for your Christian student groups to strengthen their bonds of friendship and community as they explore the roots of our Christian faith.

Did you know that most of the books of the New Testament were written by the Apostle Paul to Christian churches in Greek cities?

1. 1. The books I and II Corinthians were written to the church in Corinth, which is only an hour’s drive from Athens.
   2. The books I & II Thessalonians were written to the church in Thessalonica in Northern Greece.
   3. The book to Philippians was written to the church in Philippi in Northern Greece.
   4. The Apostle John wrote the book of Revelation from the Greek island of Patmos.
   5. Timothy, Silas, Aquila and Priscilla, Sosthenes, Phoebe, Apollo, Luke, John, and other great men of the Bible, lived and preached the Word of God in the Biblical and historical land of Greece.
   6. Most of the Christian activities and ministries mentioned in the book of Acts of the Apostles in the Bible took place in Greek cities.

Did you know that ALL except one of the 27 books of the New Testament were written in the ancient Greek language mainly by Jewish writers?

1. 1. Greek was the international language, well known at the time of Jesus.
   2. Jesus said, “I am the ALPHA and the OMEGA” (the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet). The Greek language was spread to Israel, Egypt, Asia and as far as India by the Greek king Alexander the Great who lived 330 years before Christ.

We want to offer you a GREAT opportunity to bring Christian student groups to visit the CHRISTIAN, BIBLICAL sites of Greece. “IN THE STEPS OF THE APOSTLE PAUL” is a tour we have created retracing Paul’s steps and enabling you to relive history and stand at the very sites where major religious events took place!

Greece was the birthplace of Western civilization and its many magnificent achievements still influence our lives today: Yes! Greek history and culture have blessed Western civilization in so many ways. A few such examples include:

1. 1. The father of medicine, Hippocrates of Kos.
   2. The father of mathematics, Pythagoras of Samos (569-475 BC), best known for the Pythagorean theory, which bears his name.
   3. Ancient Greek philosophy started in the 6th century BC and continued throughout the Hellenistic period and the period in which ancient Greece was part of the Roman Empire. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are just a few of the amazing Greek philosophers.
   4. Greece is the birthplace of tragedy and comedy by the famous theatrical writers Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides & Aristophanes.
   5. Democracy started in Athens, Greece in the 5th century.
