Experience the Holy Land on a Level that Most Tours Miss
Whether you have traveled to Israel before or have never been, but dreamed of such a trip, this well might be the tour you are looking for.
Most trips to the Holy Land are sponsored by churches and their pastors, synagogues, or other cultural groups and each of these has their value. This tour, however, is decidedly different, one that is oriented to the history and archaeology related to a single question–“What do we really know about the historical figure of Jesus of Nazareth and how do we know it?”
This tour is different from most other tours. It typically draws a very diverse group of people in terms of faith backgrounds and spiritual orientations–with the common denominator a love of history and archaeology, with no expectations regarding belief systems, politics, or faith orientations. Anyone interested in biblical history and literature will find this tour refreshing and educational from beginning to end.
