Studying the geography of the Bible in the Land of Israel may sound like an impossible dream, but now you can delve into the subject right where you are, even if you live on a different continent!
The video lectures for this course were filmed at various locations all over Israel, taking you into the Bible’s own environment and helping you better understand the worldview of the people of ancient Israel that was impacted by a unique climate, geography, and physical topography of the Land.

Excellent course, highly recommend, thanks and blessings.
While this course is amazing, I would like to make a few suggestions.
1. Show the maps longer while the Dr. is talking
2. Make the maps available in a PDF
3. When the Dr. is reading/quoting scripture and the side bar is used, print out the scripture that she is reading.
I very much enjoyed this class. I am a geography nut and love being able to visualize where events took place. Please consider putting together a map PDF.
Blessings
I love learning about the Bible lands.
It’s an interesting course with a lot of information but some parts are a bit confusing, although it surely awakens my curiosity and desire to go to Israel and explore in person!
Very well structured courses/ content. Highly engaging. Thoroughly Scriptural yet Simplified. Love it.
I like the course, but it needs something more, i like the maps showing the best due to me just really learning Israel and history and everything but the maps aren’t up long enough to look good or take notes and pause then play then pause ect it gets mixed a lot.
A very informative course of study. I especially benefited from the discussion of river valleys and how they shaped travel and settlement in the region.
