Travel to Israel

with Dr. HélèneDallaire and Dr. Craig Blomberg

Denver Seminary along with Jerusalem University College, Israel (JUC) is offering the course,  “Historical and Geographical Settings of the Bible.” This is a wonderful opportunity to travel with two Denver Seminary Professors to see and experience the Holy Land.

"This intensive three-week course will introduce you to the geography, history, and archaeology of Israel. You will begin to feel at home on the playing field of biblical history after traveling throughout the land of the Bible ... Studies and walks in Jerusalem emphasize important aspects of the city in biblical and modern times and reconstruct the features of the city and its environs during the times of David, Solomon, Hezekiah, the Maccabees and Jesus.  Time spent in the Galilee region helps students understand the geography as well as the culture during the time of Christ and other periods of biblical history."

For a full description of the course please go to the JUC website.

SPACE IS LIMITED! ONLY 35 people can go! A $200 non-refundable deposit will save your spot.
