Join distinguished professor Dr. Craig A. Evans on a journey to some of the most significant New Testament archaeological sites.

As the course takes you through cities and other locations around the Sea of Galilee, you’ll learn where Jesus and his disciples walked and lived, including Capernaum, the headquarters of Jesus’ Galilean ministry.
