About Madelon Maupin
Although Madelon Maupin's academic background includes both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Biblical Studies, it is probably her 35+ years in business and her strong emphasis on written and verbal communication that give BibleRoads its "punch." Madelon spent 15 years in the newspaper industry, cultivating a commitment to highly focused, content-rich presentation and a strong research background. Over the next 20 years she headed a leadership consulting firm in Los Angeles, where she worked with some of the film industry's top firms and developed a capacity for clear, direct verbal communication. Ever since closing her consulting firm, it has been Madelon's joy to focus full-time on BibleRoads.com, which allows her to combine all of her skills in the talks and workbooks she presents on Biblical topics. Madelon's goal is to help others unlock the Bible in a non-denominational way so that they can discover the Scriptures' spiritual meaning and application to their lives. By delving into the history, politics, geography, customs, and culture of all the Biblical periods and books, she aims to enable readers and listeners to dive deep into these subjects themselves so they can find their own spiritual answer.
Wonderful Blog on Turkey! Thanks for updating the names of the cities. I loved the headless and armless statue behind you. A real nobleman I think. And Antony and Cleopatra prior to Paul (Saul). No wonder Paul had so much he could expound upon.
This was fascinating! It gives depth to Paul’s background. A long way to go to be the carrier of the Gospel of Jesus.
So interesting! I’m glad to know more about Paul’s culturally rich background, and about why Tarsus was such an important place n the ancient world.
