The Gospel That Began in Tarsus

A documentary series drawn from the TarsusGospel library, one chapter at a time. Each episode continues where the last one ended. Every claim keeps its register — Scripture, tradition or scholarship; scenes marked “Dramatised reconstruction” are illustrations, not footage.

  1. Episode 1

    No Mean City

    Tarsus, and the silent years of St Paul

    The city where Paul was born — the river Cydnus, the Cilician Gates, the mound of Gözlükule, a city of Stoic teachers — and the nearly ten years between Damascus and Antioch that the sources leave in silence.

  2. Episode 2

    The City That Called Them Christians

    Antioch, and the first journey

    Barnabas brings Saul to Antioch on the Orontes, and from that city the first missionary journey goes out: Cyprus, where Saul becomes Paul; Perga; Pisidian Antioch; Iconium; Lystra; Derbe — and the road home not taken.

  3. Episode 3

    The Cilician Gates

    The second journey, and the last walk through Tarsus

    The road out of Antioch after the Council of Jerusalem: the quarrel that split Paul from Barnabas, the choice of Silas, and the march west through the Cilician plain, past Paul's own city and up into the mountain pass the ancients called the Cilician Gates — then Lystra, Timothy, and a harbour facing Europe.

  4. Episode 4

    Letters from the Road

    The third journey, and the man who worked with his hands

    From the crossing into Europe to the years that produced the letters: Corinth and the tentmaker's trade, the proconsul Gallio and the one firm date in Paul's life, the letter to Thessalonica, Ephesus and its riot — and the voyage home to Jerusalem that he made knowing what waited there.
