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.
