[edit] Geography

The passage Thus, believing modern-day Birmingham, Alabama was analogous to first-century Ephesus, Jordan "renamed" Paul's letter to the Ephesians "The Letter to the Christians in Birmingham." is not quite true. Clarence wrote: "The place names have been chosen at random, with no particular respect to geography or other relevant details. Thus the letter to "the Christians in Atlanta" may as well have been addressed to Knoxville, Nashville, New Orleans or any other city. The name has no significance other than stage setting. Neither does the American city bear any implied resemblance to the city originally addressed by Paul." [1]-leigh (φθόγγος) 04:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
