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

[Austin]

Because though we see it we do not always give it the importance that it deserves, we do not always see how it can greatly help us understand something.

[Austin]

We tend to skim over the geograhical places in our readings due to the map and commentary placements in most bibles. Some study bibles attempt to alleviate this.

[Austin]

I suppose the focus is more on the spiritual rather than the physical.

[Austin]

Because we live in this present time that’s so different from Biblical times and geography and it’s hard to relate to even though we have the same kind of weather, mountains, etc.

[Austin]

So much of Bible study is focused on the spiritual and the people and the consequences that the place is overlooked.
