The Holy Land

Visit the Holy Land, wherever you might be. This beautifully illustrated guide to the history, culture, geography, and key sites of the Holy Land will transport you to the land of Abraham, David, Jesus, and Paul—where the story of the Bible played out in real life. Explaining the who, what, when, where, and why of some 140 Bible places, The Holy Land provides details on the history, setting, and importance of each locale—cities, villages, valleys, rivers, lakes, and more. For ease of use, sites are grouped into regions, including the wilderness south of the Dead Sea west of the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean Sea inside the walls of Jerusalem’s Old City outside the walls of Jerusalem north of Jerusalem to Shechem south of the Sea of Galilee to Samaria around the Sea of Galilee and north to Mount Hermon and each entry is accompanied by helpful photographs or paintings. The Holy Land is ideal preparation for those visiting the Middle East—and an equally great read for “armchair travelers” who want to better understand the Bible story. George W.
