About This Book

A compact manual that first surveys the physical geography of the biblical lands—extent, geology, climate, mountains, rivers, seas, and regional divisions—then traces the historical development of Israel and early Christianity in close conjunction with that geographical background. It emphasizes how terrain, climate, and natural resources shaped settlement, religion, institutions, and literature; supplies maps, stereographic views, and bibliographic aids; and offers clear, practical summaries designed for teachers and students to interpret biblical history through its physical setting.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] The numbers in parentheses refer to the stereographs or stereopticon pictures that illustrate the section in which the reference is found. Cf., for detail descriptions, Appendix II.

Transcriber's note:

Variations in spelling, punctuation and hyphenation have been retained except in obvious cases of typographical error.

Page 281: "Archbold, Under the Syrian Sun ..." should read "Inchbold".

The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs, thus the page number of the maps might not match the page number in the List of Maps.
