Video: All About Region of Samaria in 15 Minutes
The Satellite Bible Atlas web site has a series of short videos that illuminate Bible places. Today features one that illuminates the region of Samaria. I watched it and cannot recommend it highly enough. It is more than worth the 15 minutes’ viewing time.
Todd Bolen comments on this video:
Most tourists do not visit these areas today largely due to the political situation between the Palestinian Authority and Israel. All of the region of Samaria is in the West Bank. It is often safe to visit but many vehicle rental agencies in Israel do not insure their vehicles in PA territories. There is more than enough to see outside of Samaria, but the region is more prominent throughout the Bible than any other except Jerusalem.
Whether or not you have already visited some of these places, in 15 minutes from now you may be ready to plan a trip. Enjoy!
