Freed-hardeman graduate school of theology
seeing his world program
Each summer, select students of FHU’s graduate school of theology spend 10 days in Israel and experience authentic archaeological dig sites such as Shiloh, the ancient site of the tabernacle. this study abroad opportunity connects with a two-week short course, BIB599A Biblical Archaeology, taught by Dr. Jonathan Moore. Credit may be used as elective hours in any of FHU’s Graduate School of Theology master’s programs.
The FHU Graduate School of Theology seeks to prepare men and women for service to the church by providing advanced Christ-centered training in biblical studies, theology and ministry. Individuals may connect with the school at facebook.com/FHUGraduateSchoolofTheology and fhu.edu/gradtheology.
The trip is led by Dr. Moore, who along with his wife, Kim helps fund the excursion and teach the course. Students only incur the tuition for the three-hour course and less than $1,000 for the cost of the trip. Why travel thousands of miles to a hot, dry land to dig in the dirt? Dr. Moore says, “Because archaeology can illuminate the biblical text to the historical reality of scripture. It tethers biblical events to a real time and space. More than ever, we must defend the historical veracity of scripture.”
What Student’s are Saying
“The entire trip was a learning experience! Every place we walked, and we did A LOT of walking, had biblical and archaeological significance. What I learned gave me the desire to keep digging and learning more about biblical archaeology.””
“Already when conversing with people about the Bible, I feel more equipped to speak to the reality of the text often assumes, yet we often miss. It has already allowed me to engage others in ways I’ve simply not been able to before, so I’m excited to see how this enhances my ministry.””
