Lesson 3 explores the first travels of Jesus' ministry. Lesson 4 continues the travels of Christ prior to His death, surveying the miracles and parables of Jesus. In Lesson 5, the reader considers the geography of Jesus' death and resurrection. Lesson 6 begins an exploration of the spread of the gospel through the work of Philip and Peter. Lesson 7 introduces the student to the conversion of Saul, who would become one of the most influential of all of the apostles. Lesson 8 explores the 1st preaching journey of Paul. Lesson 9 continues to explore the work of Paul during his meeting in Jerusalem and his 2nd preaching journey. Lessons 10 and 11 complete the reader's examination of Paul's work considering his 3rd journey trip to Rome.

The study ends in Lesson 13 by identifying the location of the seven churches addressed in the book of Revelation and the churches in cities to which epistles of the New Testament were directed.

James M. Scott focuses on a particular Old Testament pseudepigraphon--The Book of Jubilees. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach based on detailed analysis of primary sources, much of which is seldom considered by New Testament scholars, and explores the neglected topic of ancient geographical conceptions. By studying geographical aspects of the work, Dr. Scott is able to relate Jubilees to both Old and New Testament traditions, bringing important new insights into Christian concepts of annunciation.

The book of Acts contains a strong geographical component. Yet readings of Acts typically ignore or marginalise geography's contribution to the construction of the narrative's theology. In this book Matthew Sleeman argues that Jesus' ascension into heaven is foundational for establishing the 'spatiality' of Acts, showing that the narrative's understanding of place and space is shaped decisively by Christ's heavenly location. Drawing on recent advances in geographical theory, Sleeman offers a 'spatial' interpretation that expands our vision of how space and place inform the theological impulses of Acts. Presenting a complement to conventional 'temporal' readings of Acts, he sheds new light on the theology of the book, and suggests new ways of reading not only Acts but also other New Testament texts. Sleeman's work combines innovative biblical scholarship with accessible and informative geographical analysis, and is suitable for those with research and teaching interests in human geography or biblical studies.

The Lexham Geographic Commentary on the Gospels delivers fresh insight by paying attention to an often overlooked component of the Gospel stories--their geographical setting. Written by a team of scholars with on-the-ground experience in Palestine, the Geographic Commentary lets you see the land through the eyes of the disciples as Jesus uses the surrounding landscape as the backdrop for his teaching. Each article addresses a particular story, event, or subject across the Gospels. This commentary will not only place you in the sandals of the disciples as they traveled throughout Israel with Jesus, but it will explain the significance of the geographic details to the biblical text and your life today. With more than fifty Gospel stories expounded from this important geographical angle, you're bound to take away something new from these well-worn stories."--
