v Wants to rejuvenate their quiet times

v Leads a small group or teaches others

v Disciples another

v Would like to study the Bible in Israel

v Would like to fall in love with Jesus more deeply

Bible Alive is a multimedia contextual immersion experience in understanding

God’s Word in its original historical, cultural, geographical, literary, and visual context. This seminar will equip you with tools, resources, and frameworks to forever change the way you read and understand the Bible. The following statement captures the motivating principle behind this seminar:

“We should never ask what a passage means to us today until we know what it meant to those who first heard those words and experienced its reality.”

Using helicopter video of Holy Land sites together with images drawn from their unique library of photographs, illustrations, reconstructions, and maps, Preserving Bible Times teaching fellow Doug Greenwold will bring the Bible to life as never before.
