Instructor: Stephen Geiger

Description:
So much of Biblical text is tied to geography. With an understanding of land forms and water sources and regional boundaries and weather comes a context for key events in salvation history.

Spend a week traveling virtually on the other side of the world. Explore Old Testament and New Testament geographical features in the land of Israel and beyond, equipping you to paint with accuracy the vivid scenery of battles and prophecy and preaching and more.
