| | Philologos The Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia Chapter 10 |
 | | The relation of the Christian organisation in Asia to the Commune, or rather to the tendency towards consolidation which took an Imperial form in the Commune, is brought out in striking relief by several facts. | | | The Asiatics possessed money; and the ordinary Roman, whose characteristic faults were greed and cruelty, shrank from no crime in order to enrich himself quickly during his short tenure of office in the richest region of the world. | | | Again Christianity in Asia expressed itself in Greek, not in any of the native languages. |

| | Scholars believe there were 80,000 or more followers of Jesus by the year 100 and by the year 200 the province of Asia Minor was largely Christian. | | | While the interior of Asia Minor was home of the Lydian people, they too had contacts with the people of the coast in the same way. | | | This amazing accomplishment was possible in large part because Asia Minor was the crossroads of the Roman world. |
