The Biblical History Center

Eden, Sinai, Tabor, and Zion. In the Bible, these four mountain-top encounters with God unify the Bible's grand story. When you and I read Scripture with attentiveness to symbols and images—such as mountains—the Bible's overarching story emerges. Better yet, we encounter God Himself in His Word. This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll hike up all four mountains. Plus, we’ll answer your Bible questions, bring you the headlines from the Middle East—all on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s one thing to read about Bible History…but it’s another to live it. How do you do that? This week on The Land and the Book, we'll take a tour of the Biblical History Center! You'll stand in a tent made of goat and camel hair. Examine a coin with Pontius Pilate's name on it--and walk through a home like biblical characters lived in. Hint: it's mighty small. Scripture comes alive when you join us this week for The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's incredible how many people happily agree that Jesus was a great teacher. Or a great miracle worker. Or a great moral example. But when you tell them Jesus claimed to be God, the conversation often turns icy. So, did Jesus really make that claim? Spoiler alert: Yes! Join us for the proof this week on The Land and the Book. Your faith will be fortified—and your love for Jesus magnified—on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bible commands every believer to make disciples. And making disciples begins with people who don’tknow the Savior. But what do you do when your Jewish friend wants nothing to do with Christ? How do you navigate that relationship? This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll look at what to do “When Your Jewish Friend Wants Nothing to Do with Jesus.”  Plus, you’ll hear all the top stories of the Middle East—from a biblical perspective—on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Suffering. It's the thing we run from--the thing we dread. But we're not alone. And we're not the first. Many of the Bible names you know and love faced suffering of all kinds. What lessons did they learn? What wisdom did they leave for us in Scripture? This week on The Land and the Book, our special guest is Joni Tada. You’ll be encouraged as we explore suffering in Scripture—and suffering in YOUR life.

Consider the biblical city of Shiloh—Israel's first religious capital. It was here that Hanna dedicated her son, Samuel. In Shiloh, the Tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant were kept for many years. Today, workers are excavating the ancient city of Shiloh. This week on The Land and the Book, we'll talk with an archaeologist who shares remarkable insights from his dig earlier this summer. That's The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Civil war in Syria. More than half a million Syrians are dead, and 55 thousand of those are children. Half of Syria's population is now uprooted from their homes. And 5.5 million have fled to neighboring countries. But some courageous Christians are shining bright lights for Christ in Syria. Their stories are amazing—and we’ll hear them this week on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s the biggest bully of the Middle East: the nation of Iran. We’ve heard all about their nuclear ambitions, but what’s daily life really like for women in Iran? This week on The Land and the Book, we'll delve into the pressing women's issues in Iran, particularly from a Christian perspective. Our guest was born and raised there. Then, Charlie Dyer's devotional reminds us that God is always right on time.

Throughout history, when nations have turned from God, He has raised men to try to bring them back. The Prophets of the Old Testament, the Apostles of the New Testament, and ultimately Jesus—all performed this role. These men are the Tough Guys of the Bible. Where did they get their courage? What are their secrets? What can we learn from them to become tougher? That's our focus—this week on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The apostle Paul was born in Tarsus. That’s modern-day Turkey! A surprising amount of the Bible took place there. But today, Turkey is largely hostile to the gospel. This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll share a firsthand account of a gospel witness in Turkey. Plus, we’ll tackle some intriguing listener Bible questions. And then, Charlie Dyer’s devotional introduces us to “The Man Who Needed a New Roof.” All on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
