New York - May 1, 2013: The Israel Ministry of Tourism, North and South America, recently released its 12-part "Bible Comes to Life" series, offering a comprehensive look into the foundations of Christianity and its context within the Holy Land.

"The Bible Comes to Life" series provides insight into the religious significance and modern-day importance of Christian holy sites throughout Israel, from Mount Gilboa, Tabgha and the Sea of Galilee to Caesarea, Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. Each episode is hosted by Omer Eshel, Director, Israel Government Tourist Office - Chicago, and places quotes and scriptures from the Bible within the context of the Holy Land.
