Continents of authorship
Asia, Africa, and Europe — yet one unified message.
The story
Books were written in the Near East and Asia Minor (Asia), in Egypt and along the African approach to Sinai (Africa), and in cities like Corinth, Philippi, and Rome (Europe). Different continents, languages, and centuries — one storyline. That unity is the payoff of the authorship data.
