Point University announced this week its new partnership with the Biblical History Center in LaGrange, Georgia. The goal of the partnership is to enhance the academic, spiritual and vocational experience of Point University students through experiential biblical education and cooperative initiatives.
The partnership will provide several advantages to Point University students. All residential students will be granted free admission to self-guided tours of the Center, and the Biblical History Center will coordinate with faculty members to develop internship opportunities for students in the areas of museum education, biblical history, nonprofit operations, communications and programming. Additionally, both institutions plan to coordinate on academic initiatives, including field trips, immersive classroom experiences, guest lectures and special programs.
“We are so excited and thankful for this partnership with the Biblical History Center,” said Dr. Rachel Nabulsi, associate professor of biblical studies. “The exhibits of daily life during the Old and New Testament periods are extremely informative. In addition, the Center holds artifacts on loan from the Israeli Antiquities Authority. The BHC is the only museum in the Southeast to hold such a collection. I hope that every Point student will be able to take advantage to this opportunity to learn about life in the biblical world.”
The Biblical History Center focuses on life in the ancient world, especially daily life in ancient Israel through functional, large-scale archaeological replicas, biblical meal presentations, lectures and other interactive experiences.
