Glossary

Review the lesson glossary terms below. Glossary terms may be included in quiz questions.

Achaia

The name originally of a narrow strip of territory in Greece, on the northwest of the Peloponnesus, lying along the southern shore of the Corinthian Gulf. Subsequently it was applied by the Romans to the whole Peloponnesus, now called the Morea, and the south of Greece.

Areopagus

The Latin form of this Greek word is “Mars hill,” which was northwest of the Acropolis in Athens. The name of the hill was given later to the council whose meetings were held upon it. The Council of the Areopagus retained this name even after it changed its meeting place. The Council of the Areopagus was similar to a council of elders and was subject to the king of Athens.

Bar

Aramaic for the Hebrew ben, “son.” In the New Testament “Bar” is frequently employed as prefix to names of persons, e.g., Barabbas, Bar-Jesus, Bar-Jonah.

Cyprus

An island situated near the northeast corner of the Mediterranean Sea, in an angle formed by the coasts of Cilicia (modern Turkey) and Syria. In the Old Testament, it may be in view when the name Kittim appears. The island is the third largest in the Mediterranean after Sardinia and Sicily, with an area of about 3,580 square miles. (Various scholars take this term to be a reference to islands west of the known world, which go much further afield than Cyprus or to islands in the Mediterranean.)

Galatia

Galatia was a name used in two different senses during the first century A.D: (1) geographically, to designate a country in the northern part of the central plateau of Asia Minor; (2) politically, to designate a large province of the Roman Empire, including not merely the country Galatia but parts of Pontus, Phrygia, Pisidia, and Lycaonia.
