2011 conference archive: Audio | VideoThe Old Testament department at Wesley offers three classes on a regular and rotating basis that are designed to bring our students to Israel for the academic study of the historical geography of the Holy Land and archaeology. Supported in part by the Summer Archaeology Scholarship fund, these classes offer a phenomenal opportunity for the student to see and touch the history of Israel, and to better prepare for a life in ministry or academics. See the related class descriptions under OT714 The Geographical and Historical Settings of the Bible, OT(TBD) Summer Archaeology Program, and OT(TBD) Biblical Archaeology (this class is held on campus and is a prerequisite to OT(TBD) Summer Archaeology Program).
