It was a Roman province located in the southern part of Greece, encompassing the Peloponnesian Peninsula and parts of central Greece. The capital of Achaia was Corinth, a major city known for its commerce and strategic location.<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context</b><br><br>In the Roman Empire, Achaia was an important province, established in 27 BC when Emperor Augustus reorganized the territories. It included notable cities such as Corinth, Athens, and Cenchreae. The region was known for its cultural and intellectual heritage, particularly Athens, which was a center of philosophy and learning.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b><br><br>Achaia is mentioned several times in the New Testament, primarily in the context of Paul's missionary journeys and the early Christian communities.<br><br>1. <b><a href="/acts/18-12.htm">Acts 18:12</a></b> · "While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat." This passage highlights the political structure of Achaia, with Gallio serving as the proconsul. It also underscores the challenges faced by Paul in spreading the Gospel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/romans/15-26.htm">Romans 15:26</a></b> · "For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem." Here, Achaia is noted for its generosity and support of the Jerusalem church, reflecting the interconnectedness of early Christian communities.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/1_corinthians/16-15.htm">1 Corinthians 16:15</a></b> · "You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints." This verse indicates the early establishment of the church in Achaia and the dedication of its members to Christian service.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/2_corinthians/1.htm">2 Corinthians 1:1</a></b> · "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia." This greeting from Paul emphasizes the presence of a broader Christian community in Achaia beyond Corinth.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/2_corinthians/9-2.htm">2 Corinthians 9:2</a></b> · "For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year you in Achaia were ready to give; and your zeal has stirred most of them to action." This passage again highlights the generosity and zeal of the Achaian believers.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>Achaia's mention in the New Testament underscores the spread of Christianity beyond the Jewish context into the Gentile world. The region's churches, particularly in Corinth, played a crucial role in the early church's development. The letters to the Corinthians address various theological and practical issues, providing insight into the life and challenges of the early Christian communities in Achaia.<br><br><b>Cultural Influence</b><br><br>The cultural backdrop of Achaia, with its Greek philosophical traditions, influenced the intellectual engagement of early Christians. Paul's interactions in cities like Athens, as recorded in <a href="/bsb/acts/17.htm">Acts 17</a>, demonstrate the encounter between the Gospel and Greek thought.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Achaia's role in the New Testament narrative highlights the dynamic spread of Christianity in the Roman world and the diverse challenges and contributions of its early believers. The region's churches, marked by their generosity and commitment, serve as a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel in diverse cultural settings.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Achaia</span><p>grief; trouble<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Achaia</span><p>(<i>trouble</i>) signifies in the New Testament a Roman province which included the whole of the Peloponnesus and the greater part of Hellas proper, with the adjacent islands.

The original inhabitants were Ionians, but these were crowded out later by the Acheans, who came from the East. According to Herodotus, the former founded twelve cities, many of which retain their original names to this day. These cities were on the coast and formed a confederation of smaller communities, which in the last century of the independent history of Greece attained to great importance (Achaean League). In Roman times the term Achaia was used to include the whole of Greece, exclusive of Thessaly. Today Achaia forms with Elis one district, and contains a population of nearly a quarter of a million. The old Achean League was renewed in 280 B.C., but became more important in 251, when Aratus of Sicyon was chosen commander-in-chief. This great man increased the power of the League and gave it an excellent constitution, which our own great practical politicians, Hamilton and Madison, consulted, adopting many of its prominent devices, when they set about framing the Constitution of the United States. In 146 B.C. Corinth was destroyed and the League broken up (see 1 Maccabees 15:23); and the whole of Greece, under the name of Achaia, was transformed into a Roman province, which was divided into two separate provinces, Macedonia and Achaia, in 27 B.C.<br><br>In <a href="/acts/18-12.htm">Acts 18:12</a> we are told that the Jews in Corinth made insurrection against Paul when Gallio was deputy of Achaia, and in 18:27 that Apollos was making preparations to set out for Achaia In <a href="/romans/16-5.htm">Romans 16:5</a>, "Achaia" should read "ASIA" as in the Revised Version (British and American).
