Why Derbe? An Unlikely Lycaonian City for Paul’s Ministry
View through CrossRef
This article discusses Paul’s visit to Derbe contextually within the first journey as well as his subsequent visits to this minor Lycaonian city. It reviews the difficulty of earlier travellers and scholars such as Davis, Sterrett, and Ramsay to localise the site. The discovery of two inscriptions naming Derbe have more precisely situated the site, yet some ambiguity remains. Paul’s projected routes between Lystra and Derbe as presented in maps and atlases are reviewed. The authors’ autopsy of this area provides fresh insights into Paul’s route between the two cities. The article closes with a suggested reason why Paul visited Derbe on his first journey and thereby founded a community of believers there.
