Mr. Jenkinson's background uniquely qualifies him to lead this special journey. He studied Greek & Latin and Classical Cultures at the University of Minnesota and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. At Oxford, he learned enough Greek to read long selections of Homer's Iliad in the original. He has taught classical studies courses and the Latin language at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Mr. Jenkinson has previously led cultural tours to the Mediterranean. With his guests, he likes to create a dialogue about the roots of western civilization that is accessible to people of all educational backgrounds and all levels of curiosity. 

At Oxford, Mr. Jenkinson studied the history of Christianity and the formulation of Christian doctrine. He has taught courses in the Bible, including the Bible as Literature, the Historicity of the Bible, and the Search for the Historical Jesus. These studies will inform his review of the places where the apostle Paul had his ministries.

Clay is the author of 8 books, the CEO of Dakota Sky Education, Inc., and the CEO of the Dakota Institute through the Lewis & Clark Fort Mandan Foundation. Mr. Jenkinson is host of the nationally syndicated radio program The Thomas Jefferson Hour, heard on National Public Radio, and is the Chief Consultant for the Theodore Roosevelt Center at Dickinson State University.
