Sorry to write again, but Stephen's comment reminds me of something
I've been thinking about. We try to envision how Paul conducted his
missionary work, and one of the things we think about is Paul teaching
in public places. And there is the view of Paul teaching in the work place.
The question that has intrigued me is, Where did Paul spend the night?
(not counting the nights he was bobbing in the open sea)
Similarly, where did Paul take his meals? The minute he steps into
someone's home, social networks snap into action. Did he move from
city to city with recommendations of whom he should contact?
Was he the entertainment at symposia? Family names on inscriptions
in Turkey give evidence of how people and properties were interconnected
across Asia Minor, so it's easy to fantasize about Paul getting his foot in
the door in one place and then getting passed along a network of
friends that takes him from city to city. But it's all just pleasant speculation.
Has anyone else ever thought about this?
