The name Duranno is significant. It represents a school founded by a man named Duranno. In Korean Duranno means “Tiranus.” The original name of this person was Tiranus. It is derived from the Latin word for “sovereignty.”
This Duranno was a renowned philosopher. He was also a scholar from Ephesus. He was the most famous philosopher in Ephesus. He had the most students. He also ran the largest school.
The man Duranno taught students and then he died. He had many devoted followers. Paul likely encountered Duranno’s school during his time in Ephesus. Paul likely rented this vacant school. He used it to conduct thorough Bible education.
Biblical education and evangelism occur here. Acts 19:10 states that all Jews and Greeks heard the word. This shows the school’s considerable size. Paul did not lecture alone. Many disciples lectured. Together they created “Bible School”. Paul spent two years teaching scripture.
Before this Paul preached and lectured elsewhere. He preached in synagogues. He spoke on the streets. Opposition from the Jews grew. So, he established Duranno Church. Some believe a Christian managed Duranno’s school. Perhaps this person permitted Paul to use the space.
We now know that Duranno Church reflects Paul’s ministry. It mirrors the school he established. The publishing company “Duranno Books” echoes this legacy. It reflects the church’s commitment. A commitment inspired by the Apostle Paul. A commitment to spreading the Gospel.
