Leon Mauldin has been preaching full-time since 1972 and is currently in Hanceville AL (since 1989). One special area of interest is taking trips to the Bible lands for research and photography for biblical teaching and publication. Leon’s Message Board has an emphasis on biblical History and Geography. The setting of the biblical world gives one a context for the events of scripture.

Sign me Leon, I can’t believe you have been there for 21 yrs. Sometimes Hohenwald doesn’t seem that long ago. I have fond memories of your kindness to me ,the meals and study sessions
Thanks for writing, Richard. We enjoyed those times also!
Dear Leon Mauldin
I am writing an article about Herod the Great for a Christian magazine in German which is called “das Feste Fundament” (“Firm Foundation”).
If you could give me permission for the aerial view picture of the Herodium, I would appreciate it. Also, I would be grateful if you could send me the picture in high resolution. If it is possible, reply to me in the next few days because I am under time pressure to get this picture or else it is too late for this article.
Best wishes,

I’ve following your blog for several weeks and it’s great
Dear Mr Mauldin,
I work for an academic publisher in the UK, and I found this image on the internet (http://bleon1.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/areopagus-steps_dsc00061.jpg). We are very interested in using it on the cover of one of our forthcoming books.
I was wonering if you would be willing to grant us permission to use the image, and if you would be able to provide us with a high resolution copy?
I woud greatly appreciate your help in this matter.
Kind regards,
Amy Davis-Poynter
Hello Leon. Interesting blog! I think we have much of the same interests. Kind regards, Arne Berge
Hello Arne,
Thanks for your comment.
I’ve been to Norway twice, in ’98 and ’07.
Thanks again for reading my blog.

Nice to hear you have been in Norway. I live in the southwestern part of the country, near Stavanger. And here is my blog adress: http://arneberge.wordpress.com. It’s written in norwegian nynorsk. Unfortunatly Google Translater has problem with this form of our norwegian language. Arne
Dear Rev. Mauldin. My name is Nils Arne Pedersen; I am a Danish Professor in Church History. I am in the process of publishing an illustrated text-book for university students about Christianity in its ancient context. I have seen your very fine photo of Artemis from Ephesus and I would like to ask you whether I must use it as an illustration in the book? The book will of course indicate you as the photographer. Yours sincerely Nils Arne Pedersen
Leon, I am doing a post on the reliability of the OT, and I am interested in using the picture of the Merneptah Stele you posted. Is that okay with you? I will give you recognition and link to your site.
Chandler
Yes Chandler, you may use my Merneptah Stele photo.

Hi Leon, I enjoy viewing your Message Board. I am a minister in Australia and have a mission outreach program to Thailand. I prepare a church bulletin every week that contains photographic images to enhance the sermon material for that week. Can I use any of the photographic images in your archives for illustration purposes in our church bulletin or on our church website? Do you have a Creative Commons licence on your photographic images? Do I need to obtain your permission each time (week) that I use your images? All the appropriate aknowledgement would be attributed to you each time that an image is used. The images would not be used for commercial purposes. No profit will be made from the use of the images. Thank you for your consideration.

I’m not much into preaching but I do like the geography of Biblical history.
Hello Leon, I am producing photo books on Israel and came across a couple of your photos from Pt. of Precipice: Nazareth and Jezreel Valley. They are beautiful! Are these copyrighted? Would you allow me to use them for my books?
Thank you for using your photography gifts. What a blessing!
