Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial Journey Through the Holy Land, or Scenes in Palestine It is from Edoln's rock-hewn capital that the frontier of J udea is approached. A deep mountain basin is strewed with Petra's ruins, is hemmed around by a perpendicular wall of cliffs, whose precipices are sculptured for the facades and excavated for the chambers, which served the indwellers of this nest in the rock for habitations during life, for temples in which to worship, and for tombs where all that was mortal of them at last was laid. The descent north wards is through a series of ravines that often are mere rifts in the mountain channels by which the waters of winter's storms rush down to the plain. One great valley, beginning almost as far north as Mount Hermon, runs from north to south through Southern Syria, and continues its course still further to the southward. Its upper portion is the valley of the Jordan, commonly called by Arabs El Ghor. By most of the Arabian geographers this name is applied to the valley of the Jordan exclusively; but one of them, Abulfelda, says that the Ghor extends continuously to the Red Sea from the Lake of Tiberias. The ancient geographers are silent as to the prolongation of the great valley from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea. The central portion of the valley is occupied by the Dead Sea in its greatest length, and by a small tract at its southern extremity, which is the Valley of Salt of the Scriptures, reaching up to some declivities that are probably those called in the Bible the ascent of Akrabbim. From these cliffs the great plain to which the name El Arabah is given by the Arabs, and which was wholly unknown to the last generation of travellers, commences, and continues uninterruptedly to tlie site of ancient Elath, at the head of the Gulf of Akabah on the Red Sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peasant Life in the Holy Land During the last forty or fifty years a flood of light has been thrown on the ancient history of Egypt, Babylonia, Syria, and the other lands so intimately associated with Palestine, as well as on that of the Holy Land itself, thereby illustrating and confirming the Scripture narrative. Towns and cities buried for thousands of years have been compelled to yield up their secrets to the spade of the explorer; the story of forgotten tribes and nations has been discovered: ancient languages have been re-learnt, and their records and literature, personal correspondence and private accounts, have been made accessible to the ordinary reader. In another field of research, that of the manners and customs, language and folk-lore, of these Eastern lands, much has also been accomplished, but in both much yet remains to be done.

This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel-Letters From Palestine and the East Every land is holy since God made, and is in and over every land. Still there is a sense in which only one land is holy. And that because its mountains and plains and cities, its fields, flocks and flowers, its peoples and laws and cus toms, are woven into every part of our Bible; because of those holy ones who lived and wrought there for us; and holy because of the divers times and places and manners in which God has here revealed Himself to His people, and through chosen vessels to all the world. But most of all, holy because of that Holy One who here had His cradle and home, His workshop, pulpit and school room, His Golgotha and Olivet. And because of the future when that strangest of people shall turn unto Christ, and when in stead of the ancient city of Jerusalem, now in ruins, the New Jerusalem, which furnished the last and perhaps the most beautiful picture of heaven, shall be let down out of heaven, may Palestine truly be called the Holy Land. To visit this land, walk its ways, commune with its choicest souls in their old homes and in the light of the Land to read the Book, is a privilege to be coveted by any one, and particularly by one whose sole work is to preach the Gospel here revealed. In the good providence of God this privilege came to the writer, and after due provision for home and church, with grateful heart, he left home on March the third for New York.

Download or read book Painting the Holy Land in the Nineteenth Century written by Yehoshua Ben-Arieh and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Land has captures the attention of mankind since the very beginning of human civilization, and even more so from the early days of Christianity. Nineteenth-century Palestine fired the imagination of the Western world. Improved travel facilities and greater political stability in the Near Easst brought ever-increasing numbers of visitors to the Holy Land, affecting the quantity and quality of the pictorial depictions of its sites and scenes. Like other countries in the exotic Muslim East, Palestine also became a point of focal interest for painters of the Orientalist school. The author has assembled a fascinating collection of unique works of art, executed in the diverse styles of nineteenth-century painting. Around these reproductions, many of them in colour, he reconstructs the story of the artists who produced them, who came from many European countries and from North America. The result is an important and unique perspective on the sites, persons, events and customs of the Holy Land in that century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land of Israel: A Journal of Travels in Palestine, Undertaken With Special Reference, to Its Physical Character Divines, antiquarians, and poets have trodden the fields of Palestine, and made the world familiar with its most inte resting and striking features. Not to enumerate others, the researches of Dr. Robinson and the glowing pictures of Dean Stanley have, upon most subjects connected with the country, left little to be filled in by their successors. Notwithstanding this, however, and although libraries teem with volumes of geographical and archaeological. Investiga tions, the physical history of the Holy Land appears, hitherto, to have scarcely received the attention that is due to it, and there may in this direction be still room left fora contribution to our knowledge.
