Israel Study Tour 2012

May 13 - June 3, 2012

Want to understand the Bible better and make it become 3-D at the same time? Then join Biblical and Religious Studies Professor Brian Schultz, who has spent more than a decade living and studying in Israel, on a discovery tour that focuses on highlighting how an understanding of the Holy Land’s geography is vital for catching nuances that are assumed but often not explicit in the biblical text.
  • See the battleground of David and Goliath.
  • See OT remains of Jerusalem, such as the wall Hezekiah built.
  • Walk in the town of Capernaum where Jesus and Peter lived.
  • See an actual biblical “high place” as preserved at the site of Dan.
  • Stand where the Tabernacle once stood.
  • Hear the Sermon on the Mount as you overlook the Sea of Galilee.
  • Visit the discovery site of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
