Sabbatical Studies in the Holy Land Professor Neva F. Miller, shown here with Curios from the Holy Land, was granted a Sabbati- cal leave during the 1967-68 Academic year for study and travel in the Middle East and Europe. She pursued her graduate studies at the American Institute of Holy Land Studies, located on Mt. Zion in Zerusalem, Israel. In a letter home she wrote: I find that I am living more deeply than ever into the experiences of these wonderful days, more than I had dared to hope. How the days unfold with new things to be seen and learned and felt, especially felt .... My experiences go in three directions -toward the People, the Land, and the Book. One could concentrate wholly and busily on any one phase, but I am finding a rewarding balance, with lots of activity in each direction. And I have been learning at different levels . . . the tourist level, with its over-all view and new sensationsg the field trip level, getting into an Israeli open truck and going to all sorts of places all over the country in an intensive study of geography and archaeology and related history. Going with a government team do- ing archeological surveys is a deeper level still. Below that is our own walking trips about Jerusalem and its surroundings of steep hills and deep valleys and ravines. It is THE way to go. Deeper down still are the personal pilgrimages we make. I am learning some things about worship in this land dedicated to pilgrimages through all these centuries, for on pilgrimages one goes not only to see, but to feel and worship. All ofthis makes it the Lord's plus all the way! 4l
