| FEATURED ARTICLES During the Iron Age, when Israel and Judah ruled Canaan, the kingdoms of Ammon, Moab and Edom ruled east of the Jordan River. They and their gods are featured in the Bible. Recent discoveries vastly increase our understanding of these kingdoms and their religion. Now 80% off for a short time, this course of eight lectures by world-famous archaeologist William G. Dever is your comprehensive introduction to archaeology and the Hebrew Bible. Throughout the course, Dever examines the field's most contentious issues. Jonah is a story about a prophet and a "great fish." The Book of Jonah is read in the synagogue on the afternoon of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, the sacred Day of Atonement. Why, of all books in the Bible, was this book selected for this most holy day? During the festival of Pentecost in Acts 2, Jesus' disciples are given the Holy Spirit, and they begin speaking in tongues (other languages). Are the disciples speaking in human languages, or is this an instance of glossolalia—speaking in angelic tongues? Other than Israel, no country has as many Biblical sites as Jordan. The FREE eBook Exploring Jordan introduces readers to this Biblical land. Each article is written by an expert who guides you through legendary sites just across the Jordan River. | | | CARTOON CAPTION CONTEST  Write a caption for this cartoon (see Genesis 24:18–20, 45–46).
