About this listen

By exploring the stories of the Bible in their actual locations, and the stories of the complex human beings who lived them, you’ll gain fascinating and illuminating new dimensions of the texts. In this visually stunning course, you’ll also experience the Bible’s connection to both the real world and ancient history while you’ll engage with the past in a way that is both immediate and tangible.

In the 16 lavish video segments of Searching for People and Places of the Bible, containing breathtaking footage shot on location, you’ll walk the ancient sites with Jean-Pierre Isbouts, exploring places such as the site of the Parting of the Waters in Exodus, the Grotto of the Annunciation, and Jesus’s miracle of the Loaves and Fishes. You’ll look deeply into the narration of biblical figures such as Moses, Jacob, Deborah, the Virgin Mary, and John the Baptist.

As the course unfolds, you’ll explore great sites and figures from both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, including:

· Joseph in Egypt. Discover locations related to the story of Joseph’s enslavement in Egypt, where he rose from bondage to become Vizier to the pharaoh.

· The Conquest of Joshua. Trace the military campaigns of Joshua at Jericho, Hazor, and Lachish, by which the Israelites entered the promised land of Canaan.

· Kingdoms of the Israelites. Visit the sites of King Saul’s battle with the Philistines and King Omri’s great capital at Samaria, and find archaeological evidence of the reigns of King David and King Solomon.

· Great Women of the Bible. Encounter the prophetess and political visionary Deborah at Mt. Tabor; and, in the apocryphal scriptures, Judith and Esther, who heroically saved the lives of their people.

· In the Footsteps of Jesus. Across five lectures, take a detailed and illuminating look at Jesus’s youth, his ministry, the events of his arrest and crucifixion, and the birth of Christianity.

Searching for People and Places of the Bible takes you on a sumptuous and eye-opening voyage into history, bringing new light to one of humanity’s most significant texts.
