There is a web site called Mysteries of the Bible produced by Michael Sanders. Sanders makes extraordinary claims, but lacks the extraordinary evidence to back them up. Sanders claims to know where the Ark of the Covenant is! Michael Sanders believes that the Ark is in the village of Djaharya in Israel.

There are many approaches to studying the Bible and all of them offer valuable insights in understanding the sacred text. The Arizona Bible Class draws on insights gleaned from the study of Historical Geography and Middle Eastern culture to inform the systematic study of the Bible in each of its classes.

Historical Geography is an academic science holding the position that the physical geography of any land can affect that lands history. This academic discipline was developed and applied to Biblical studies by (among others) Dr. James Monson who taught this subject at the Institute of Holy Land Studies in Jerusalem. Dr. Wayne Stiles, a current teacher and proponent of this Historical Geographical method writes that, 'The more someone understands the land of the Bible, the more one understands the Bible itself. Its message is enabled to have a more profound impact on one?s spiritual life and ministry...the land of Israel serves as the basic canvas onto which the message of the Bible can be painted in vivid reality.' This is the approach the Arizona Bible Class brings to the Biblical text in each teaching venues.

Middle Eastern culture provides additional insight in our study of the Bible. The Bible is set in the Middle East and its unique cultural world. Jesus was a man of the Middle East and his teaching reflects this fact. In each Arizona Bible Class session students are provided with cultural keys that open meanings to texts that have otherwise been obscured by cultural bias or lack of cultural knowledge of the Middle East. Over time Arizona Bible Class students learn how the culture, language and customs of the Biblical Middle East inform the careful study of the Bible.
