Thomas Gould of Searcy Explores Greece with Overseas Program

2012 Jun 7

Searcy resident Thomas Gould is among a group of incoming freshmen spending the summer in Athens, Greece, with Harding University's Scholars Abroad program.

Gould will be spending two weeks touring famous biblical and archaeological sites including the Acropolis, Mars Hill, the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, the Temple of Artemis, the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, ancient Corinth and the monasteries of Meteora.

During their time in Greece, students will earn three hours of college credit through a Bible course, "The Mediterranean World," taught by Dr. Monte Cox, dean of the College of Bible and Religion. This class explores the language and culture of the first century Greco-Roman world.
