Welcome to Biblical Resources, LLC

Biblical Resources can serve you in four main ways:

1. 1. Through tours to the Mediterranean world

Come with us on a trip of a lifetime to the Land of the Bible. See a dream come true as you take a walk in the rocky Wilderness of Judea, watch birds fly over the Sea of Galilee, stroll through the temple ruins at Ephesus, imagine the glory of ancient Pompeii, and marvel as the golden rays of the afternoon sun light up the stones of Jerusalem, making it truly Jerusalem of Gold.

Such experiences have been compared to seeing a play for the first time after years of enjoying the book. One experiences “ah-ha!” moments of knowing first hand what the “stage” of the Bible actually looks like as you explore archaeological sites and historic settings. Understanding antiquity, geography and archaeology and how traditions and customs are reflected in the Scriptures enriches what one already knows of the Bible.

Biblical Resources, LLC, regularly organizes study tours to Israel, the West Bank, Greece, Turkey and Italy. These tours are led by widely respected teachers, Dr. James Fleming and Mr. Hannaniah Oliver Pinto, who have lived and worked in Israel for over 30 years. Biblical Resources is known for weaving five unique emphases into its Study Tours: archaeology, geography, history, theology and small group travel.

2. 2. Through our meal services

In LaGrange, GA, Biblical Resources, LLC is located in the Explorations in Antiquity Museum. There we offer the unique experience of a biblical meal of four courses, around a three-sided reclining table, which includes 15 food items that are authentic to the Roman Period. To add to the authenticity, meals lit by olive oil lamps are served in a room replicating rooms discovered at Pompeii and Herculaneum. While diners partake, a meal facilitator shares information about the various food items and Passover customs common when Jesus shared the Last Supper with his disciples.

3. 3. Through Educational Materials

Many educational materials on history, geography and archaeology have been developed by Dr. Fleming. In the bookstore at the museum, there are also books by other authors, hand-carved olive wood items, CDs, DVDs, as well as transcripts from dozens of conferences Dr. Fleming has conducted on important archaeological insights on the biblical materials. Many of these products are available online through our bookstore.

4. 4. Through products to support Israeli and Palestinian artisans

Through the products we offer, we support both Israeli and Palestinian artisans. It has always been our tradition to bring a sensitivity to our connections with respect for Judaism. We therefore have a variety of Judaica such as Passover Seder books, prayer shawls, kippot (head covers), kiddush cups, menorahs, mezzuoth and shofar rams' horns.

Products from the Palestinian areas also enrich our inventory in the museum store. Part of our motivation in handling Palestinian made products, such as Christmas nativity sets, wooden candle sticks, bowls, communion cups, Christmas ornaments, crosses, needlepoint stoles and pillow covers, is that the difficulties related to the political situation have resulted in major unemployment. Our store is part of an effort to help support six Christian families involved primarily in olive wood production.

Come join us for a meal, a tour, or the selection of a meaningful gift.

We look forward to meeting you and sharing experiences of a lifetime!
