The Manifestation of Biblical Truth from the History of Kobuleti

Abstract

Based on the works of Zakaria Chichinadze, Dimitri Bakradze, Sergo Vardosanidze, Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, and the Niko Berdzenishvili Institute, the state of Christianity during the Ottoman occupation and the post-Ottoman period has been studied in the administrative unit of Kobuleti. The research revealed that despite severe pressure and hardships, Christianity did not disappear. Christian beliefs, though dimmed, continued to exist among the local population like smoldering embers. Their revival was greatly supported by the dedicated efforts and active actions of patriotic individuals.
