Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Achaia, as it is a specific Greek geographical term. However, the concept of regions and provinces can be related to various Hebrew terms for lands and territories. Usage: In the New Testament, Achaia refers to a Roman province in southern Greece, which included the regions of the Peloponnese and central Greece. It was a significant area during the time of the early church, often mentioned in conjunction with Macedonia. Cultural and Historical Background: Achaia was a prominent Roman province established in 27 BC, with Corinth as its capital. It was a center of Greek culture and philosophy, and its cities were known for their wealth and commerce. The region played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity, as it was visited by the Apostle Paul during his missionary journeys. The presence of a diverse population, including Jews and Gentiles, provided fertile ground for the early church's growth.
