Until recently, I have had neither time nor opportunity to do it, to say nothing of the cost.\u201d I hope that it won\u2019t be too long until I\u2019ll be able to offer a blog series similar to Mark\u2019s. In the mean time, I\u2019ll enjoy reading Mark\u2019s account (with photos) of the experience of a New Testament scholar\u2019s first visit to Israel. Thanks for sharing this, Mark! I hope that when your blog series is done, you are able to say that this was the best trip one could take without a TARDIS!<\/p>\n
