EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS

Read how studying in Jerusalem has impacted how our students understand the world of the Bible and the Modern Middle East today. In the words of Phillip, disciple of Jesus, "Come and see."

"Studying at JUC changed my life and career. It gave me grounding in the study of land and language critical for a proper understanding of biblical literature and history. This still enriches and informs the way I read the Bible." William M. Schniedewind Professor of Biblical Studies and Northwest Semitic Languages, UCLA

"The program and faculty at JUC were just what I needed. They set my feet on a path that ultimately led to a wonderful, fulfilling career and, more importantly, combined to inform and deepen my faith. What a rich resource, one that simply cannot be duplicated elsewhere in the world, awaits future students who find their way to Mount Zion." Ron E. Tappy G. Albert Shoemaker Professor of Bible and Archaeology, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

"My time at JUC instilled in me a passion to study the Bible within its historical and geographical context. The education I received was an excellent foundation for my Ph.D. studies as well as my current research. Now that I am a professor, I hope that I am instilling in my students this same passion." Dr. Steven M. Ortiz Director of the Center for Archaeological Studies, Lipscomb University

"I came to JUC in need of significant professional, scholarly, and personal renewal after 20 years in the seminary classroom. Almost immediately I began to sense something exciting and transformative was going to happen to my students and to me. Every time I have returned to JUC since then, I have experienced that renewal all over again, and I am delighted to see my students discover the concreteness of the Bible when it is read in its context." Lawson Stone Professor of Old Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary

"My year of study at JUC was one of the best decisions of my ministry. The time at JUC, reading the Bible with my feet on field studies, and studying the Hebraic roots of the church with my exceptional faculty, reinvigorated my sense of call and has given new depth to my teaching and preaching. I think that all pastors can benefit and be blessed by the unique study opportunities offered at JUC." Heidi Kinner Associate Chaplain, Christ Memorial Chapel, Jupiter Island, Florida
