    Wow! Professor Parker is so knowledgeable! She is so animated in her delivery of the subject which makes anyone interested in the geography of the biblical land, whether or not they are"into" geography! Her facial expressions show that she is passionate about the subject and her willingness to convey that to her students!

    I think the course was engaging. She gave supportive evidence like artifacts, pictures and samples, that really painted the picture of what life was like in Bible days.

    Prof. Parker is highly knowledgable and engaging. This is very informative and interesting, and illuminates the Scriptures beyond just reading the words on the pages.
