Why do you think geography has been given so little attention by Bible readers?

We have our pastors focus most on redemption

Because we focus on the Messiah most of all.

Because mostly in the sermon, the preacher described the geography in just a little portion. And most of us were taught to pay attention to the teaching or the words not the place and culture of the ancient Israel.

Perhaps we don’t look into how that geography affects and impacts each writer in scripture and their intent for using that geography in their words and word pictures. Our understanding may be different from the original writer.

For me, my focus was on his teachings and how I could be a better Christian. Setting a good example for others to follow – geography was not on my radar at all.
