Usage: The term "Beroiaios" refers to an inhabitant of Berea, a city in ancient Macedonia. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the people of Berea who were noted for their noble character and eagerness to receive the word of God, as well as their diligence in examining the Scriptures. Cultural and Historical Background: Berea was a city located in the Roman province of Macedonia. It was known for its strategic location and its vibrant Jewish community.
