Images of the Holy Land

The images in this collection have been chosen to support teaching in Biblical studies. Dr. Arthur L. Merrill, Emeritus Harry C. Piper Professor of Biblical Interpretation, took the slides during numerous trips to the Holy Land and surrounding areas from 1962 to 1996. The collection includes photographs of the land, archaeological sites and tells, artifacts, holy sites, and modern cultural, political, and religious scenes from Israel and Palestine. The artifacts and archaeological sites that Merrill has captured date from 10,000 BCE to modern times, with a focus on the Biblical era.
