Before watching Route 60: The Biblical Highway, I had never heard of this important highway that spans across Israel. Route 60, also known as the “Path of the Patriarchs,” is 146 miles. The road begins in Northern Israel in Nazareth and ends in Beersheba. David Friedman and Mike Pompeo do an excellent job of narrating this film. They provide the historical context of how this road played a significant part in the stories of both the Old and New Testaments. It is neat to see the actual physical setting of many stories from the Bible.
As Friedman and Pompeo walk along parts of Route 60, there is a striking juxtaposition between some of the seemingly unchanged landscapes and the more modern cityscapes. It is difficult to imagine Abraham, Jacob, King David and Jesus walking along the same dirt road that is now a highway populated with cars. Route 60 provides an intriguing look into how this road connects ancient Israel with modern Israel, Jews and Christians with Muslims, and Israelis with Palestinians. I think history buffs would be especially interested in this film.
