Israel Study Tour 2010
May 17 - June 6, 2010
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.
Cost: $2,3010 - $2,620 + airfare (Airfare for 2010 is currently about 30-40% cheaper than in 2009.)
Credit available: 4 units (included in price); possible 8 units with Focus Series
Registration deadline: January 22, 2010, with a deposit of $200. Space is limited and will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Your $200 registration fee (to be applied toward the balance due) will guarantee you have a spot.
