Résumé : |
Here is a comprehensive and manageable text for seminaries. Bibie schools, and colleges. It will be welcomed by all teachers of Bible and Bible history. Sunday school teachers will find it a valuable addition to their reference shelf.
This new and comprehensive treatment of the history and geography of the Holy Land fills a felt and expressed need, for it synthesizes concepts of history and geography. It carries the reader from the earliest recorded history to the present day, thereby giving a thorough background to an understanding of the tensions in this land that has always been a focal point of global significance. The same is true of the detailed discussion of the topography of the land which has so influenced its history. Maps and photographs illustrate the text. With an exceptional graphix style the author shares his eyewitness experiences from many months of travel and study in Palestine, thus giving the reader in a unique way a firsthand "feel of the land". |
