ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract Seasoned archaeologist Jeffrey R. Chadwick responds to studies done by Warren Aston (see page 8), Richard Wellington and George Potter (see page 26), and Kent Brown (see page 44) pertaining to the trail that the Book of Mormon prophet Lehi took after fleeing Jerusalem. Chadwick uses his archaeological, histori- cal, and scriptural knowledge to comment on the claims made by the other scholars. He specifically ana- lyzes Lehi’s life in Jerusalem, the route Lehi took from Jerusalem to the Red Sea, the Valley of Lemuel, the route from Shazer to Nahom, the route from Nahom to Bountiful, and the building of the ship at Bountiful.

  • Samford Israel Information
    SAMFORD ISRAEL INFORMATION Dates May 17-29, 2016 Itinerary May 17 (Tue): Arrive Tel Aviv After our meet-up at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, we take an easy bus ride to the coastal town of Netanya for a restful afternoon and dinner. Overnight: Seasons Hotel, Netanya May 18 (Wed): From Caesarea to the Sea of Galilee Our first day of exploring takes us to Caesarea Maritima, center of Rome’s rule over Israel and headquarters for Pontius Pilate. As we head north, we visit Mt. Carmel, the site of Elijah’s contest with the prophets of Baal. Next it is on to Megiddo, a store city during the days of King Solomon, for a look at Canaanite temples and the town’s ancient water system. From Megiddo, best known through its Greek name, Armageddon, we can imagine the scene envisioned by the author of Revelation. To close out the day, we ascend to the town of Nazareth, setting for the boyhood years of Jesus, before settling in at our hotel in the lakeside town of Tiberias. Overnight: Caesar Premier Hotel May 19 (Thu): North to the Golan Today we head north to explore the Upper Galilee. Our first stop is the important city of Hazor, famously conquered by Joshua during the time of the Conquest and again by Deborah during the time of the Judges. Leaving Hazor, we travel to ancient Israel’s northernmost city, Dan, where King Jeroboam provoked the prophets’ ire by installing a shrine housing a golden calf. We then visit the springs of nearby Banias, known in Jesus’ day as Caesarea Philippi, the location where Peter famously said, “You are the Christ, the son of the living God.” As we turn southward again, we visit the famous zealot outpost of Gamla before stopping at Kursi, the site where Jesus cast the demons into a herd of swine.

  • Conference Reviews Physical Activity and Sport Participation by Girls and Women Are Receiving More Wide-Scale Attention Than Ever Before
    Conference Reviews Physical activity and sport participation by girls and women are receiving more wide-scale attention than ever before. In this issue of the WSPAJ, we are privileged to have reviews that offer us a global perspective on the reach and impact of our passions. The role of sport in the promotion of peace around the globe was the focus of an International Symposium held in Israel. This symposium was reviewed by Gertrude Pfister. As the representative of the International Association of Physical Education and Sport for Girls and Women, Dr. Pfister provides us with unique insights into her experience at this historic event. Our second review, by sport histori- an Allen Guttmann, also has a global perspective. Dr. Guttmann focuses on how gender and sport were embraced at the 19th Annual International Congress of Historical Sciences. In addition, the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance recently held its annual convention in Cincinnati, Ohio on March 27-31. Girls’ and Women’s issues were well represented throughout all aspects of the conference. The National Association for Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS) spon- sored 40 sessions during the five-day event. The sessions addressed a variety of topics including teaching sport skills to girls, officiating women’s sports, minimizing violence and heterosexism in sport, and addressing gender equity. In this issue, a presentation by Dr. Lynda Ransdell titled “Promoting Physical Activity Among Girls and Women” is the subject of a review by University of Utah doctoral stu- dent Alison Taylor. The general session for the NAGWS was used as a platform to award Dr.

    Directions to Biblical Tamar Park Address Biblical Tamar Park Ir Ovot D. N. Arava 86805 ISRAEL Supervisor’s phone 052-426-0266 Directions to BTP by Train and Bus from Ben Gurion Airport After exiting customs at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, you will be on the ground level. Take a left after you pass through the people waiting to pick up other passengers. (Take a right to exchange some money if you need to do that first. You can also rent cell phones in this area.) After taking the left, follow the signs to the train station. You will take a right at airport exit #3. Go through the doors and down the hallway. Off to your left, you will see the turnstiles for the train. Walk through that opening in the hallway, before the turnstiles, off to your left is the ticket window. Go to the ticket window and ask for a ticket to Beersheva Central. (Note: If the train is not running for some unknown reason, you will have to take the bus instead. Have someone direct you to the bus stop and take the bus to the Central Bus Station, where you can get a ticket to Tamar like you would at Beersheva.) The train ticket price should be around 32 shekels. You have to change trains once, and they may mention this to you when you buy the ticket. Just tell them you know you have to change trains. Then, proceed to the turnstiles just before the stairs or escalator. You need to put your train ticket through a machine to activate the turnstile.

The main livelihood here is agriculture: we grow hothouse bell peppers, dates, melons, tomatoes, tropical fish, algae and cows and goats’ milk - to name just a few of our products - Tel-Aviv which is why we are on the cutting edge of advanced agriculture in arid conditions. In addition, we are situated further from Israel’s center than any other region. This distance results in - or perhaps attracts - creativity and ingenuity and an unconventional mindset. Here you will meet artists and crafters, owners of unique businesses, practitioners of a myriad of therapies, facilitators of workshops for every age group and interest, a cultural landscape Jerusalem that combines professional with “home-grown”, and quality education and community. Beer Sheva The innovation inspired by Arava life has also led to the establishment of unique tourist attractions based on our treasured natural landscape that enables a sense of complete freedom.
