Where Faith and History Meet: The Bema of Corinth
There’s no classroom quite like the ruins of Ancient Corinth. Our Spring Break study tour recently brought students and faculty together from Ozark Christian College and Johnson University, along with an incredible group of friends, to the foot of the Bema (Judgment Seat).
Standing at this precise location—the same spot where the Apostle Paul once stood before Gallio—brings the text of the New Testament into sharp, 4K resolution. It’s one thing to read about the "Judgment Seat" in a textbook; it’s entirely another to stand on the ancient stones and feel the gravity of the history that unfolded here.
Between deep theological discussions and exploring the archaeological wonders of the Greece, this journey has been a powerful reminder of the roots of our faith.
