This section looks at the Geographical & Historical Background to the Old Testament
We start with a map of Palestine as a land bridge between Egypt & Mesopotamia
Then take an overview of the journeys made by Abraham, Joseph, Moses & Joshua
We look at the main international routes crossing Palestine
And examine how cities such as Megiddo owed their growth to these routeways
We explore how Palestine is totally dependent on the River Jordan
And discover how the Jordan Rift Valley was formed
We look at the extent of Ancient Israel under King David & King Solomon
And give a summary of the Message of the Old Testament
Then we ask Who wrote the Old Testament?
