Plot

For a variety of reasons, many people are unable to visit the Holy Land and the other lands of the Meditteranean. This book seeks to bring these places alive for the reader. While it can be used with benefit by the traveller, it is primarily written for those at home. The focus of the book is on Paul and the sites that are likely to be authentic. The text follows the chronology of Paul and so has an overall 'story line'. Each chapter (or site description) includes: a description of the biblical event, any relevant previous history or associations of the site, a site description in terms of geography and archaeology, any relevant later history, and what it looks like today (maps and photographs). Beautifully illustrated
