This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the land enables us to read the Bible with greater insight. Though the truths of the Bible transcend time and place, they are rooted in them. Geographical data inform our understanding of activity in the land of the Bible, while the Bible’s own description of these events, embedded deeply in the realia of the land itself, helps us better understand the living context in which these events took place. When we develop a skill set that allows us to read the land of the Bible as fluently as we might read the text, we stand not only to gain a better appreciation of the divine-human events of Scripture, we also gain an understanding of how these events become relevant to us in our own particular living contexts. Chapters include: Exploring the World of the Bible Building Blocks of Biblical Geography The Land of Ancient Israel: The Southern Regions (Judah/Judea) The Land of Ancient Israel: The Central Regions (Israel/Samaria) The Land of Ancient Israel: The Northern Regions (Galilee) Transjordan Afterword: Geography of the Heart Biblical geography has great apologetic value. The biblical writers had to be accurate when presenting geographical material. Unlike some matters of history and doctrine, their assertions about the realities of land forms and climate, or about the relation of one city to another, or about the use of strategic routes could easily be verified both by their first readers as well as by contemporary readers. Verifiable geographic information provides a solid foundation on which to place and evaluate the veracity of other truth claims in the biblical text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Bible Geography Sacred Geography and Sacred History are inseparably connected. Geographical allusions abound in every part of the Holy Scriptures. The "Lands of the Bible" are the living monuments of the Divine authenticity of the Book which speaks of their mountains and plains, of their rivers and pools, their cities, their peoples, and their tombs. Within the past few years Christian scholars of various lands have given a new impulse to the exploration of sacred localities, and thus has been illustrated more forcibly than ever before the connection between the two great branches of Bible study above indicated. The places mentioned in Scripture were once by many considered as beyond the sphere of the merely scientific explorer. Their soil must be pressed by the feet only of priest-ruled devotees, and their holy relics touched only by believers who accept every thing and question nothing. Thus "sacred places" multiplied, and sites both true and false became mingled in indistinguishable confusion. The same theory had already obtained in reference to the books of the Bible. Concerning the books, however, it was long ago determined that the records of those who claimed to write as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost might be and should be judged, as were the works of all other authors, by every method known to criticism. Thus far the books have stood the test, and now it is still further desired by the enlightened believer in the Bible that the sacred volume shall continue to be tested by modern exploration and discovery amid the sites of Scripture lands. Profane history speaks to us to-day with an emphasis made doubly strong by the unearthing of some of the identical sites concerning which its records were made. Nearly two thousand years ago the volcano of Italy buried several splendid cities beneath its rain of death. History made the record, and for centuries their site was lost. Yesterday strong arms went out with spade and pick; to-day the streets of Pompeii, its forum, suburbs, baths, dwellings, and theaters, its people and their customs, are all before our gaze. Classic art, long buried, is lifted out of her ashy grave, and steps forth from her winding-sheet of fire. So, too, the forum of ancient Rome, the palace of the Caesars, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the Punic and other edifices of Africa, are dug up, and compelled to speak out in attestation of the veracity of those who penned their annals. Sacred localities must be treated thus. Many of them have already been thus explored. All Palestine is a land of ruins; it is pre-eminently the Memorial Land. Its hill-tops, covered with heaps of stone, are so many Mizpehs that "witness" the partings of pious chieftains and the assemblies of the people of God.
