The drama of history is enacted upon the stage of geography. Geography has been called the eye of history. A person’s native land plays a tremendously important role in the life of any person. Goethe, the German philosopher, said that “Whoever the poet will understand must go into the poets land.” Well, the stage where Jesus Christ lived out his earthly ministry, was of course the land of Palestine. And it is very essential that each of us have at least an elementary knowledge of the geographical setting in order to have a proper appreciation for the gospel accounts.
