About this trip

Join us for an experience unlike any other as we take you behind the scenes to explore the lands of the Bible in a way that will change your life forever. 


Much of the story of the New Testament recounts the spread of Jesus’ movement into the Greco-Roman world and the Roman Empire. As the Jewish followers of Jesus spread his movement, they confronted a world culturally, politically, and religiously opposed to them - a world very similar to what we live in today, where similar challenges face the followers of Jesus.


Traveling to Italy with Biblical Expeditions will provide you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the Greco-Roman world, discover how first century followers of Jesus navigated their world, and better understand the historical accounts and teachings of the the New Testament.


The heart of every journey and every experience is to empower you to become the disciple you are called to be. By better understanding the world of the Bible, you will better understand the words of the Bible, transforming your ability to study it, do what it teaches, and share it with others.


Our expeditions, led by an experienced team of expertly trained guides, offer the finest travel experiences, providing you the peace of mind that everything down to the smallest detail has been taken care of so you can immerse yourself in the journey, encounter God, and be empowered to better understand the words of the Bible through exploring its world.

We Believe: The Bible is God’s revelation in time, space, and culture. Encounters with the spatial, historical, cultural, and spiritual world of the Bible answer what the Bible meant as a way for modern readers to understand what it means for us today. Onsite engagement with the world of the Bible excites, encourages, and transforms Bible reading and study. Understanding what the Bible meant can create better followers of Jesus, people who study his words, do them, and teach others what they have learned (Ezra 7:10).

An unforgettable journey through sacred history and personal transformation Participating in the "Greece in the Footsteps of Paul" study abroad experience with Regent University and Biblical Expeditions proved deeply transformative, both academically and spiritually. The fellowship was rich, the organization excellent, and the itinerary meaningful. As a Ph.D. student with a concentration in Biblical Studies, I came expecting historical insights. What I encountered was far more—the living resonance of the Gospel in time and space, still echoing through ancient stones. Walking the Via Egnatia in Philippi, standing at the Bema in Corinth, and surveying Athens from atop Mars Hill connected me to Scripture in a profoundly embodied way. Dr. Wood’s scholarly teaching, combined with the contextual knowledge of our archeological guide, Chrisis, illuminated layers of meaning I could not have discovered in the classroom alone. One moment in particular stands out: kneeling by the river where Lydia was baptized, I dipped my hand into the flowing water and felt the weight of history and eternity meet. That same water has flowed for centuries, and in that moment, I touched not just a stream, but a living witness to the gospel’s advance into "the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). I was overcome with awe—not at ruins or relics, but at the ever-active work of the Spirit and the missio Dei (the mission of God). This journey was not tourism—it was a pilgrimage. A journey that deepened my understanding of the New Testament, expanded my academic imagination, and stirred my heart for the ongoing Spirit-empowered redemptive work of Christ in the world. If you’re considering this experience, don’t hesitate. It’s more than a class—it’s a calling to walk where Paul walked and to meet the Spirit of God in the land of the early church.

I had a great time. Our tour guide was phenomenal. She had a grasp of the history from a biblical and secular perspective. I also appreciated her knowledge an archeologist. The tour took us back in time to Acts 16-18.

Phenomenal trip. The tour guide was thoroughly knowledgeable and provided detailed information that was not only relevant but insightful. The bus driver was extremely professional and courteous and the sights were informative. Accommodations and meals were excellent and all went well on the travel arrangements. The sites visited provided the context for reading the Pauline epistles in a new light, one that offered a sense of the environment in which the Second Missionary Team traveled and experienced Greece as they sought to spread the gospel.

This was an awesome trip. Biblical Expeditions took care of all the arrangements and Regent University provided their best Biblical Studies Professor. Putting the two together made this trip absolutely phenomenal!
