Public Inscriptions of the Seven Churches of Revelation

When I lead groups to biblical sites in Turkey, I enjoy the chance to explain inscriptions—original messages carved onto stones. These historical artifacts are helpful resources for understanding ancient life. From my research, I have compiled this resource: Public Inscriptions at the Seven Churches of Revelation: A Historical Resource for Guides, With Translations and Explanations.

This document provides translations and commentary for 31 notable inscriptions standing at the Seven Churches of Revelation 2–3. All of the inscriptions included in this document are visible at the sites, so can be easily shown to people.
