On the hunt for a better Jerusalem map

JERUSALEM. I’ve struggled for years to produce a fairly decent map of Jerusalem. What makes it tough is that we need higher resolution elevation data for tighter scenes like the one pictured here. But it’s not freely available for Israel. …

Why always “going up” to Jerusalem?

Q Curious souls with an eye for detail might notice that just about every time Bible writers talk about going to or from Jerusalem they say they are going “up to Jerusalem” (Galatians 2:1), or they are headed home “down from Jerusalem” (Luke 10:30). …

Stop looking for Jesus in the Old Testament?

I KNOW HOW TO IRRITATE an Old Testament prof. Ask the question Nick Almendarez did, which becomes the Bible Question of the Week. Nick, you get a free book for your trouble, though an Old Testament prof might say what you really need is a good …

St. Paul, patron of itchy feet

I DIDN’T REALIZE IT, but the apostle Paul was a traveling man long before he logged those 10,000 miles (16,000 km) on his missionary trips. I didn’t fully get that until I started working on a map for an upcoming book (not the quick map I created …
