From the land of Ararat to the Seven Churches of Revelation, Anatolia has been the setting of major biblical events. Old Testament prophets lived here: New Testament apostles worked among local communities. Thus Turkey is part of the Holy Land. Anatolia and its Biblical Visionaries presents the continuing importance of the many people who have left their marks here and the places in which they lived.

The author, Anna G.Edmonds, is well-known for her previous books, Biblical sites in Turkey (co-authored with Everett C.Blake) and Turkey's Religions Sites. Knowledgeable about Turkey for over 50 years, she has traveled throughout the country many times. She brings to her work a long interest both in the people and the places she describes.
