The History of Paul at Malta

There are many who want to claim that the Bible has nothing to do with the historical. But most of the major events of Acts are supported by archeology. Consider today's link from the island of Malta where Paul sheltered after the shipwreck
The nearest habitation to the place of shipwreck was the villa of Publius, the Chief Man of the Island. All those who had been shipwrecked spent three days there and after they had regained their strength they moved on to Melita the chief town of rile island. In the city Paul cured Publius' father of a fever after which the Chief Man of the Island was converted to Christianity and later ordained Bishop by St. Paul. St. Publius was the first bishop of Malta.
