Bible Holy Lands in Photos, Scripture, and Commentary

See and learn about the Holy Lands of the Bible. New sites will be added every week. See the famous and off the beaten track sites referenced in the Bible.

Welcome to Bible Holy Land Blog

The purpose of the blog is to help the Bible come alive as you read. The places that you read about are real places. My hope is that you will be inspired to visit these places yourself if you have not already done so. This blog will cover sites in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. New sites will be added each week.

About the Author

I attended graduate school in Jerusalem Israel for 2 years. My course of study was the Historical Geography of the Old Testament. After studying an event and place in the classroom, the class would take a field trip to the actual site and trace the event in the landscape. Studying in the Holy Land naturally included New Testament sites as well. After my studies in Israel, I finished my Master of Arts degree in the US. Since then studying and visiting Biblical sites has been my life long passion. I have also conducted multiple small tour groups to the land. This blog is an additional support to share my love and knowledge of the Bible with others.
