Antioch in the Bible refers to a significant early Christian community and city located in present-day Turkey. It is mentioned in the New Testament as a center for the spread of Christianity, particularly in the Acts of the Apostles, where believers were first called Christians. Antioch was also the launching point for missionary journeys undertaken by the Apostle Paul and his companions. The city played a crucial role in the early Church’s development and the expansion of its mission beyond Jewish communities.
