Oh wow!
Very interesting indeed.
My husband is currently at a seminary in NC and would find your blog to be fascinating.
We used to live in Citrus County up until a year ago.
Have a blessed day!
I esteem Dr. Lewis highly. He was one of my teachers at Harding while working on the M.Th. It is because of his influence that I have endeavored to continue my work on biblical battles.
I wish Dr. Lewis well he has influenced many poeple in their search for the Lord.

Dr. Jerry,
I am interested in the distances between cities and the time it would have taken to travel to each of the cities on Paul’s preaching journeys. Do you have any information regarding this?
Thanks,
Maranatha
That must be cool that you study about the bible and travel to other places!
Nice Blog!! I’m about writing a blog about Turkish Life. This gave me good ideas. Thanks..
wow, i’m so jealous.
you’re my idol. I can’t wait until i can get out in the world!
Hi Ferrell, you left me a comment asking about Syria photos. I certainly do have some from my recent trip, but I couldn’t find an email address at which to contact you. Anything in particular that you’re looking for?
Your blog is awesome. Keep up doing a great job! I am currently studying at Tel Aviv University and planning my trip to the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights. Definitely inspired by your stories and pictures.
I was just wondering what comments you could make about traveling to Turkey. I am planning on going in March and was interested in know how safe it is to travel there. I was also wondering if you still conduct tours.
Great blog! Stumbled upon you while creating our webpage:)
What an amazing life you lead.

I appreciate your work. Thanks for making it available.

Alexander Schick (responsible for the edition of the Tischendorfletters still in posession of the Tischendorf-family)
your comment about the Tischendorfletter at St.Catherine monastery
The letter and the explenation of the monks must be seen in a total new light!
The new discovery of the documents related to the Codex Sinaiticus in the archives of the Russian foreign ministry was a big surprise! Scholars hoped, that these documents could appear cause of the international digital-project. A scholar-dream comes true! These donation documents which show, that the Codex Sinaticus was given by the monks as a gift to Alexander II. you can find online with pictures and translations http://www.nlr.ru/eng/exib/CodexSinaiticus/zah/
Worth to study! Everyone can now see, that Tischendorf was an honorably man and not a thief!
You can also find inline the letter of guarantee by Prince A.B. Lobanov-Rostovsky to Archbishop and the community of Mt Sinai Monastery,
from 10th September 1859, which was part of the agreement in Tischendors receipt. see here the picture:
http://www.nlr.ru/eng/exib/CodexSinaiticus/zah/1_1.html
Working on the letters of Tischendorf (still in the posession of the Tischendorf-Family) shows also: it was a difficult donation but it was correct done! Hopefully all the letters of Tischendorf can be published in the near future for the scholary world. Alexander Schick http://www.bibelausstellung.de

Looking forward for your positive reply.

Hey Ferrell!
I am a pastor and lead study trips to Israel and have really enjoyed your passion and accuracy in reporting your findings in Israel as they relate to the biblical narrative. I thought you might enjoy the book I wrote and website that has on-location videos shot in Israel from the book of John following Jesus’ life. If you would like a book to read or review I would be glad to send one to you or I can send you the ebook.
