THE knowledge of geography possessed by the ancients, was confined chieily to the middle and south of Europe, the south-western part of Asia, and the northern part of Africa. The geography of the New Testament is limited mostly to the countries bordering on the Mediterranean sea. This sea is called in the Old Testament the Great Sea, and most of the countries mentioned in that portion of the scriptures, either bordered upon it, or were situated not very far distant. Some of the most remote were Persia and Media. At the period of the ministry of our Saviour and of his apostles, almost all the countries mentioned in the New Testament were included in the Roman empire, or were 424 GEOGRAPHICAL VOCABULARY. The world, as the word is used in the New Testament, sometimes means the whole inhabited world ; sometimes it includes only the Roman empire; and sometimes it is used in a still far more limited sense. The only seas which are spoken of in the New Testament are the sea of Galilee, which is properly a lake, the Red sea, and parts of the Merliterranean sea. The journeyings of our Saviour, during his ministry, were limited to Palestine. The travels of St. Paul in preaching the gospel, were confined chiefly to Palestine, Syria, the countries of Asia Minor, also Greece and Italy. The country now called Palestine, or the Holy Land, was anciently styled the Land of Canaan, afterward the Land of Promise, or the Promised Land, the Land of Israel, and udea. It was anciently divided into twelve parts or tribes, named from the sons of Jacob; afterward into the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel. At the period of the New Testament history, it was subject to the Romans, and the part west of the Jordan was divided into three provinces, Judea, in the south, Samaria, in the middle, and Galilee, in the north. The countries of Asia Minor, mentioned in the New Tes. tament were Mysia, Troas, Bithynia, Pontus, Asia, Galatia, Phrygia, Lycaonia, Cappadocia, Lycia, Pamphylia, Pisidia, and Cilicia. The Roman proconsular province of Asia 'embraced the western part of Asia Minor, comprehending Mysia, Phrygia, Lydia, and Caria. The seven churches of Asia were all'included in this province.
