Biblical Field Study as Experiential Pedagogy: Jerusalem University College as a Case Study
Austin, Emma M.
International Journal of Christianity & Education, v26 n3 p267-283 Nov 2022
This paper examines the pedagogical framework of Jerusalem University College (JUC) for biblical field studies in the Holy Land. JUC's program revolves around three pedagogical pillars, "Read the Land. See the Text. Live the Book," centered on geographical comprehension, biblical texts, and practiced Christianity. This mixed methods analysis concludes that experiential learning in the Holy Land through field studies is an effective and transformative tool of biblical education. Further, the necessary move to online education during the COVID-19 global pandemic has demonstrated that the JUC model can be effectively adapted by utilizing visual and technological resources.
