I would be grateful if could have more of such pieces to help me in my studies now and other high levels. Thanks” - Rev. Daniel Kwesi Bediako.

They will help us in our efforts to gain and understanding of what the city of Ephesus was like in New Testament times.” - Graham Wall ~ Bible Student at the Macquarie School of Biblical Studies, preaching and teaching in Sydney, Australia.

"Thank you for granting permission for me to use some of your pictures for educational purposes. I am leading a study in two churches about the New Testament letters of First and Second Timothy. These letters were written by the Apostle Paul to his young protégé Timothy while Timothy was living in Ephesus during the reign of Nero in the first century A.D. The pictures are to help the class understand something of the environment of this important city during that time period, and begin to understand that culture. Thank you again for your generosity!" - Chuck Harrison

"Thank you for making such good photographs available on the web" - Randolph Melville
