I invite you to join me on a journey through time to the land of Joshua and Jesus!

Through this 21-day Study Tour to the Holy Land, we will:

• Walk into the world of the biblical texts.
• Visit the ancient stones, the important biblical/archaeological sites and pilgrimage locations in Israel & Palestine. Included this year is a visit to Petra (one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and the Sinai Peninsula.
  
• Meet the living stones, the many and varied people-groups living in present-day Israel/Palestine (Jews, Christians, and Muslims).
• Discover the complexity of conflict and the prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and wrestle with the challenges facing Middle Eastern and Western Christians, Jews and Muslims over this issue.

As you make the connection between the ancient stones and the living stones, you will discover the wonder and the complexity of these two worlds, and see how they coexist side-by-side. Often the two worlds will press in on you at the same time—the world of the biblical text, and the world of contemporary issues and political agenda. When the tour is over, you will be able to say: “I will never read the Bible or the news the same way again.”
