Description

Where is the Lost Ark? We can explore what the ancient Judeans believed about the Ark’s current location and its promised resurrection. A more important question, however, is “What is the Ark of the Covenant?” This question can be answered emphatically from both a biblical and an archaeological perspective. This course will address these two questions through an exploration of the “life” or “biography” of the Ark of the Covenant, or what I like to call the “incarnation of the Hebrew Bible.”
