#6 Pictures Change Everything — Interview with Todd Bolen

| Episode Guest: Todd Bolen

Watch the video above to see the photos being described in the podcast (photos start at minute 25:15).

Professor Todd Bolen joins our podcast today and shares the story behind the creation of BiblePlaces.com, a fantastic resource of photos and information to support Bible teachers and students alike. He uses Matthew 4 as an example of how photos can "unpack" a chapter which seems simple at face value but is in fact saturated with meaning.

Wilderness of Zin

The Nahal Zin was the southern border of the land of Canaan that was promised to the Israelites. Numbers 34:3-4 (KJV) “Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward: And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon.”
