THE PERFECT BATTLEFIELD, as Napoleon once described it, Jezreel Valley in northern Israel isn’t just the site of dozens of famous battles—including one that killed King Saul and his sons. It’s also the most fertile farmland in the country, today …
I’VE STARTED a weekly Bible Q&A that promises to give a free book to the person asking the Bible Question of the Week. I thought you might like to see some of the early contenders for this kickoff week. Actually, I’ll take questions beyond …
