But more significantly, she was the seeker after truth who became Paul's first Christian convert in Erope. It was her home that nurtured the church of Philippi, whose members were later referred to by Puaul as his 'joy and crown.' And it was to her home that Paul and Silas came after their miraculous release from prison.The author's familiarity with the period adds authenticity to the story, supplying true-to-history details of everyday life and sparkling dialougue for the very human characters.
