PREFACE An historical and geographical resource for the study of
Scripture and a companion for visiting the Lands of the Bible is an
indispensable tool for the Christian. But even more significant is
a pilgrimage involving a Seminar in which one is actually able to
study and visit the Bible Lands in person. As Christians we can be
greatly enriched by becoming better acquainted with the actual
places which are part of our spiritual heritage. These places can
become for us significant witnesses to the events that changed
forever the course of history. What happened in the Lands of the
Bible has become important in the history of humanity and it should
be extremely significant to each one who has taken the name of
Jesus, the Christ. As you consider these lands and - one hopes -
you are able to travel in the footsteps of Paul and John, may you
gain a new sense of vitality as you relive the journeys when these
early Christians faced hostile crowds, were beaten, imprisoned and
without backing down did their ministries with a commitment
inspired by the divine presence of God's Spirit in their lives. May
you be reminded that the churches in these regions were birthed in
one of the most difficult and yet exciting periods of history when
the Gospel message first burst onto the world's scene. In this part
of the world some of these churches have continued with vitality
while others have lost their zeal and still others have faded into
the past and only archaeological ruins are now left to mark places
where vibrant congregations once met and served Christ as Lord. But
almost all of these ancient congregations suffered persecution for
their Lord. Some were also part of the intense theological task of
seeking to define who Jesus Christ really is and in so doing they
staked their reputations and lives on his divinity, resurrection
and Lordship.
