Randall Price has big plans for what is now a small space in DeMoss Hall at Liberty University.

Price, an archaeologist and Liberty professor, is executive director of LU’s Center for Judaic Studies, which opened in fall 2008.

Price plans to implement academic coursework and degree programs in Jewish studies. He also is working with school officials to establish a Biblical Museum at the university that would house antiquities from the biblical period.

Preliminary plans for a 10,000-square-foot museum already have been drawn, and Price hopes that within a couple of years it will be built.

His own collection of antiquities, as well as those that he could get on loan from dig sites, would be housed at the museum to provide the school and Lynchburg a window to the past.

why when I read things like this, I always wonder why this wasn't available while I was there. Maybe my sons can enjoy this type of curriculum while they are there

There used to be a small creation museum at the school in the early 90's. I wonder what happened to it.

Fox.com just had an article about this professor and going to look for Noah's Ark this summer in Turkey. Sounds like there might be some internship hours for soon to be seniors coming up

PastorZack, I agree with you, I also wish there was other programs when I was there.
I laugh at the haters, I love it when their blood pressue goes up and they cannot sleep at night

I'm sure they would love to risk their lives looking for some lumber over in Turkey just for a few college credits.

You forgot to mention the part about the lumber likely not even being there anymore.
