Cities Found in the New Testament

Jon Gary Williams

The integrity of the New Testament scriptures can be validated in many ways. One such way is a look at its
geographical accuracy. In New Testament, sixty-seven cities are specifically named  - - places which have been verified by secular history. The amazing thing is that these cities are fitted precisely into the detailed record of the New Testament. Such accuracy is remarkable, helping to confirm the reliability of the New Testament.

And to this can be added many other geographical locations accurately found recorded in the New Testament, for example: countries, mountains, lakes, rivers and valleys.

Here is a list of these cities, assigned to the four geographical areas in which they were located.
