Abstract
Document analysis was used as qualitative research methods while preparing this book chapter. For this purpose, verses related to the seven churches in the Bible have been included in the study. The fact that the seven churches mentioned in the Bible are located in Turkey has made this place a very important position in terms of faith tourism. In the book chapter, faith tourism is first mentioned. Later, the concept of pilgrimage was mentioned in Christianity and the importance of Anatolia from the point of view of Christianity was explained. Examples of tours about the seven churches are also included in the study. Later, it was discussed what should be taken into account when evaluating the seven churches within the scope of faith tourism.
