Although the Bible is not a geography book, it is a book filled with geography—geography that shaped the way the writers of the Bible thought and communicated. Therefore, to the degree that we miss or misunderstand the geography in our Bibles, we may miss or misunderstand a part of what the Lord wants to share with us. This course, led by Jack Beck, is designed to explore the absolutely vital relationship between what the Almighty has to say and the place from which He says it.
Objectives
- Understand that geography is used frequently and widely throughout all portions of the Bible to communicate God’s thoughts to us.
- Know that geography plays a significant role in delivering the message of the Bible, especially God’s plan of salvation.
- Understand the importance of organizing the Bible geographically to see the relationships between portions of the Bible that are linked to one another by location.
- Understand the basic geographical features of the Fertile Crescent and the Promised Land and their impact on travel, water acquisition, weather, and culture.
- Understand how the geography of the Promised Land influenced the biblical writers’ lives, language, and cultural context.
Dr. John Beck did an excellent job presenting the Biblical Geography Basics course. The professor made me feel as if I were there with him, and all I could think was, “Wow! How cool is this to be in the Lord’s city without having to travel directly to these places.” Dr. Beck helped me develop my mental map.
AndreI really appreciated how clearly engaged with the content the instructor was. It was obvious he cared about his craft, ministry, and students. I enjoyed watching his delight as I learned. Thank you!
CarolynI can already anticipate and am experiencing how this course is enhancing my enjoyment and fruitfulness of Bible reading and study by giving me a much clearer mental picture of subject matter I’d previously glossed over or shrugged my shoulders at. The professor and his lectures are stimulating and inviting. Blessings!
JohnThis course was super interesting. Mr. Beck brought an excitement to the lectures that increased as the lessons went on. I thought geography was all about the placement on a map but I learned how human geography and culture is intertwined within geography. I look forward to trying to arrange my studies geographically and discovering the hidden treasures.

Donald, United States (US)I’ve always felt that the Bible had geography in it however, this lesson enhances my knowledge of the Bible as well as teaches me the different ways I can study and understand Gods Word. This course has given me great tools in studying the Bible deeper and has made me more aware of the connections of geography between the Old and New Testament. It has opened my mind and conscience to paying more attention as I read the Bible as in paying closer attention to the geography in the text. I have seen how geography shows the importance to what God really wants us to know.
Evon, United States (US)I am now getting a better understanding of the Bible because of this course. In some readings/studies of Bible passages I am getting much more out of the verses than I got in previous readings. Geography is definitely an important part of Bible study.
