Photo-Guide to the Old Testament

Plot

It is a rewarding experience to be able to visit the Middle East, and see for oneself the places where the events of the Bible took place. But many of the Old Testament sites are not on the main tourist routes-and in any case not many will have the good fortune to be able to make suc a trip at all. This book will help fill the need. The pictures recapture the way of life and events so graphically described in the Old Testament. They open a window on thehistory, literature and environment of Bible times. They show the relevance of some of the archaeological discoveries made over the last century which bring us face to face with the ancient civilizations flourishing in Bible times.
