John W MooreJohn W. Moore is an educator, minister, filmmaker, Bible instructor, author, andtour guide whose life has been shaped by the pursuit of understanding theBible in the land where it was written. He and his wife, Carla, are the founders of Bible Passage, a ministry dedicated to bringing the Bible to life through video, photography, and study tours of the Holy Land. They are blessed with a beautiful family that includes eight grandchildren. John's 35 years of ministry experience, classroom instruction, and fieldwork have given him a unique perspective on the disciplines of geography, archaeology, and history, and on their connection to Scripture. He holds a Bachelor of Science and a master's degree from Texas State University and has completed extensive post-graduate work at Jerusalem University College, the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest, Austin Graduate School of Theology, and Abilene ChristianUniversity. Through his volunteer work at archaeological digs and extensive visits to Israel, he and his wife, Carla, have forged lasting relationships with its citizens and gained practical insights into its history and culture. This rare combination of ministry experience, academic training, and personal experience in the land of the Bible shaped "Pathways: Faith Lessons in the Land of the Bible" -a book born not from research alone, but from years of standing in these places, listening to the people who call them home, and asking how the land and its environs can deepen our faith and understanding of God.
