with Professor Patrick Hunt

Archeological discoveries continue in the Holy Land. Spend an evening hearing about some of these amazing finds with our special guest speaker, Prof. Patrick Hunt. New evidence for Israel's United Monarchy (Davidic-Solomonic Period) has emerged in the last few years in Judea. Additionally, New Testament contexts in Jerusalem, like the Siloam Pool, are relevant archaeological background to 1st century writings. Professor Hunt will explore connections in Galilee and Judea, as in the greater Roman Empire and Classical World. He will also include contexts from the time of Paul's journeys in Asia Minor. All of these archaeological contexts shed light on biblical texts. Do not miss this opportunity for a glimpse into the ancient Biblical world.
