The Tour, led by Fr Michael Trainor, departs Australia late December 2010, and will be going to Greece and Turkey. A draft itinerary can be found below but bear in mind this is subject to change.

These Tours are always extremely popular, limited to 20 participants and fill up very quickly. There are already a number of names on the list of people who have asked to receive updated information as it comes to hand.  It is not too early to put your name on the list for 2010.

This topic consists of a month's study-tour of 2 or more of the following countries: Israel, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Sinai. It is prepared for by two weekends of reflection and study. The tour itself and the two preliminary study sessions aim to assist participants to gain an appreciation of the religious, political, economic and cultural environment of Ancient Israel, Jesus and the early Christian Community in the first century.
Through study in situ particpants will become familiar with the geography and archaeology of Israel and the Middle East and will develop an understanding of the milieu in which the Old and New Testaments were written. This would include an appreciation of some of the themes and events reflected on in the Old Testament and of the spread of the Christian Movement, and the cultural and religious setting for reading the Old and New Testaments.

This Tour is open to everyone and anyone who might be interested, and is not just limited to students enrolled at the Adelaide College of Divinity or Flinders University. However, those who undertake the Tour for interest only will be asked to enrol as audit students with the Adelaide College of Divinity. No course work or study will be expected.
