Future Opportunity to Study in the Land of Israel!

TTU is looking forward to the ongoing development of The Center for Holyland Studies in Israel which will be the teaching arm of Dr. Tony Crisp's True Life Concepts Ministry.

True Life Concepts Ministries exists to provide cutting edge, state of the art ministry tools that enhance the understanding of the geographical, historical, cultural and linguistic context of the Bible so that learners at all levels might more fully comprehend God's plan of the ages in Jesus Christ, God's Son.

The Center for Holyland Studies will include both an "academic" and "non-academic" component. The academic component will serve to facilitate on-site learning in Israel and the surrounding lands of the Bible. This will be accomplished through a semester-length program based within the environs of Jerusalem, which will include lodging, full board and a comprehensive program of geographical, historical, cultural and linguistic studies, along with travel throughout the land of Israel to where the events being studied took place. Tennessee Temple University will be the Partner Academic Institution in the United States that will provide online courses corresponding to the materials used at the Center in Israel.

The non-academic component program will be designed to bring study tools used at the Jerusalem Center to Bible learners and teachers around the world via the internet with state of the art technology and through books and other materials produced by True Life Concepts Ministry. The "Holyland Bible Institute Online" will provide study materials such as satellite mapping, aerial photography and on-site high resolution photos placed into formats for viewing and teaching with comprehensive annotation and instruction found nowhere else in the world. These will be designed for the lay teacher who teaches a small group to the senior Bible teacher at a mega-church.

More information about Dr. Crisp and True Life Concept Ministry will soon be available by website. Check back soon for that web address.
