His purpose for starting The Virtual Bible, Inc. is to make the Biblical text come alive and rekindle interest among the general public in Biblical archaeology and historical geography. This we are trying to do by visualizing the material remains through reconstructing what has been "dug up," or excavated, from the lands of the Bible.
