Professor Wright is the well-known President of the Jerusalem University College, a long-standing member of the Ecumenical Research Fraternity in Israel and the author of numerous books, most recently of the Holman Illustrated Guide to Biblical Geography. Reading the Land. (B&H Publishing: Nashville, TN Antioch, TN, 1 November 2020).
Being the topic of the forthcoming lecture, the study is based on two decades of research in the physical settings of the Land of the Bible. Comprising geographical, biblical and Jewish studies, Dr. Wright writes about his lecture:
Whether we read the gospels as a record of events or as stories, we can’t escape the essential connection between them and the land on which they took place. This begs gospel readers to be fluent not just in reading the text, but in reading the land as well. The land is not so much a “Fifth Gospel” as it is so often called, but an essential element of each of the other four.
A Power Point presentation with numerous sites in the Land will illustrate Dr. Wright’s perspective on the reading of the New Testament.
