Included in the list of stops are such familiar sites as the Parthenon, the Pantheon, the Sistine Chapel and the Roman Colosseum. Destinations also include museums, temples, and significant geographical and archeological sites. The trip employs several modes of transportation from planes to boats to buses. This tour will be the second for the Bible and Theology Department, the first being a tour of Israel in the summer of 1998. The department hopes that these tours will occur every other year, alternating between Israel and the Footsteps of the Apostles tour.
Students participating in the tour can receive up to six credit hours.
Assignments for the tour include readings beforehand, a journal during the trip, and for the independent study, an additional research paper upon return. The tour provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to gain better appreciation for the writing and context of the New Testament. This price covers all expenses except for five meals. Student participation is preferred, but the tour is open to parents and alumni as well. All rights reserved.
