"Just as those who have seen Athens understand Greek history better, and just as those who have seen Troy understand the words of the poet Virgil, thus one will comprehend the Holy Scriptures with a clearer understanding who has seen the land of Judah with his own eyes." ~ Jerome
The words of Jerome are as true today as they were when he wrote them sixteen centuries ago: There is no better way to enhance our understanding of Holy Writ than to see for ourselves the Holy Land where prophets and poets, teachers and lawgivers - where Jesus himself - walked, spoke, and acted out their lives. For most of us a personal visit to the Holy Land remains a far-off dream. Yet, thanks to the unforgettable visual and verbal images in COME SEE THE PLACE, it is now possible for everyone, man, woman and child, to see with his own eyes not just the Holy Land, but the Holy Land Jesus knew.
COME SEE THE PLACE takes you back across the span of twenty centuries into the living landscape of the Gospels: Nazareth, Bethlehem, Capernaum, Jerusalem - the hills and valleys, the pools and temples, the waters and trees and creatures among which Jesus dwelt, taught and did his healing works.
Carefully avoiding the intrusions of post-Biblical times, master photographer Gordon Converse captures and preserves a vision of the Holy Land as it looked to Jesus and his contemporaries. The non-denominational text prepared by Holy Land experts Robert J. Bull and B. Cobbey Crisler traces Jesus' life from his birth to the Ascension, bringing us a deeper understanding of the land and its people as they were during Jesus' earthly ministry. In so doing, COME SEE THE PLACE gives new life to the living Gospel for every believer to share.
