Students will learn to read the Gospels afresh through the prism of a first-century Jewish lens, deepening their understanding of Jesus and his world.

A grand survey of the physical attributes of the Land, this course will uniquely equip students with the ability to connect what is seen in the field to what is read in the Bible.
Jerusalem Seminary (JS) courses are engagingly academic and taught by experts in their field living in Israel. While JS’ courses are not externally accredited, they can be taken for internal JS credit. Any internal JS credit will accrue and at a later time would hopefully, through articulation agreements and accreditation bodies, receive official accreditation; a process that JS is beginning.
