I have been using photos of biblical locations in my teaching for a number of years and am often asked where does one find appropriate images. One helpful place is Holy Land Photos, the site of Dr. Carl Rasmussen, who is Professor of Biblical Studies at Bethel College (MN). The site continues to grow, but presently there are 3,465 images, and best of all, they are free. They include the countries of Israel, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Syria. The images come in various sizes, including PowerPoint-ready ones. Check it out at www.holylandphotos.org.
Steps to Exegesis
On this episode of Theologically Driven, we talk with Dr. Ryan Meyer about exegesis including literary context, historical context, textual criticism, translation, tracing the argument, and more.
