Okay, who is Carl Rasmussen?

I am an adjunct professor at the Jerusalem University College in Jerusalem and Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota.  I received my PhD in Ancient Near Eastern Studies from Dropsie University.

I maintain the web site www.HolyLandPhotos.org that features free, high quality and high-resolution images of Israel, Turkey, Greece, Jordan, and Italy.  Each year I lead adult “study tours” to Turkey, Greece, and Israel and teach in Israel, Turkey, and Greece.  I have spent 16 years of my adult life teaching in Israel, Turkey, Greece, and Jordan.

In June, 2010, Zondervan published a new, updated version of my Zondervan Atlas of the Bible.  Lavishly illustrated, the new version has been updated in every way including new maps, pictures, graphics and updated text.
