About this episode

Jack Beck discusses the significance of biblical geography in understanding biblical stories.

Everybody lives in a place -- in a specific physical, geographical context. And that geography informs and influences the way we live and the way we think. Similarly, the biblical stories are embedded within geographical places that give those stories meaning and significance. In this interview, Jack Beck comes back on the podcast for a second time to talk about his latest book, The Holy Land Workbook. He discusses the importance of becoming familiar with biblical geography so that the biblical text can be interpreted to the fullest.
