Eastern Mediterranean
Explore the impact the Mediterranean world, from world powers to centers of trade, had on the writers of the Bible.
With Jennie Ebeling, learn how pharaohs, pirates, and merchants shaped the history of ancient Israel and Judah. Thomas Davis will reveal how Alexander the Great, Greek language and culture, and the later Roman Empire helped define Second Temple Judaism and ultimately allowed Christianity to spread to the west.
