Join us on a voyage of Bible Discovery as we immerse ourselves in the Ancient Near Eastern World by exploring the amazing collection of biblical artefacts curated by the British Museum, London. With over 8 million artefacts under its care and over 50,000 of these on display; the museum houses the world's finest collection of ancient cultural artefacts.
Reading the Bible in isolation can lead us to forget that it is a historical record rooted in a time, place and culture far removed from our own. In many places along scripture’s timeline its fingerprints touch the surrounding nations & cultures and vice versa. Our British Museum Bible Tour is a great opportunity to examine these touch points with the aim of bringing into sharp focus the world of the Bible.
Our Tour Goals:
Planting the feet of each tour-ist firmly in the world of the Ancient Near East.
Casting light on the cultural and historical backdrop to both the big and little stories of Scripture.
Re-examining familiar Bible accounts in the light of extra-biblical evidence.
Clearly presenting the framework and timeline of the Bible’s BIG story.
Providing high quality corroborative evidence for many of the characters, places and accounts of the Bible.
Challenging longstanding arguments against the accuracy of the Bible.
Presenting each tour-ist with artefacts that truly have the ‘Wow!’ factor.
Please Note Before Booking:
This is a full day tour and although we don't walk far, apart from lunch, we are on our feet all day so comfy footwear is advised. The day is rich in content so we have produced a YouTube briefing which we strongly advise watching before you come to help you get the most out of the tour. The link will be included in your confirmation email.
