Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Holy Land and the Bible, Vol. 1 of 2: A Book of Scripture Illustrations Gathered in Palestine I visited Palestine with the intention of gathering illustra tions of the sacred writings from its hills and valleys, its rivers and lakes, its plains and uplands, its plants and animals, its skies, its soil, and, above all, from the pictures of ancient times still presented on every side in the daily life of its people. Nothing is more instructive or can be more charming, when reading Scripture, than the illumination of its texts from such sources, throwing light upon its constantly recurring Oriental imagery and local allusions, and revealing the exact meaning of words and phrases which otherwise could not be adequately understood. Its simple narratives, its divine poetry, its pro phetic Visions, its varied teachings, alike catch additional vivid ness and force when read with the aid of such knowledge. The Land is, in fact, a natural commentary on the sacred writ ings which it has given to us, and we study them as it were amidst the life, the scenery, and the local peculiarities which surrounded those to whom the Scriptures were first addressed.

Download or read book The Holy Land in Geography and in History Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Townsend Mac Coun and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Holy Land in Geography and in History, Vol. 1 What is needed is a good Geography of the Holy Land and a Biblical History for practical every-day use. There are numerous histories of Israel and of the time of Christ, but they are voluminous and costly works. The ordinary maps of Palestine, the limited number in our teachers' Bibles, or the folded ones in books of travel, do not meet the want. They either are not adapted to the period under consideration, or they contain so much and so many details as to be confusing, or they are too large for practical purposes, and ill adapted for use in teaching. The Geography should be based upon the results of an actual survey. It should present the natural features of the land in a plain and attractive manner, showing especially those things which the ordinary reader of the Bible most often wishes to find. With this should be an identification, as far as known, of the Biblical sites. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land and the Book, Vol. 1 of 2: Or Biblical Illustrations Drawn From the Manners and Customs, the Scenes and Scenery of the Holy Land Every sincere attempt to illustrate the Word of God is in itself commendable. On this fundamental fact the author rests his apology for obtruding the present work upon the notice of the public. Commentaries are daily multiplying; geographies and dictionaries, researches and travels almost innumerable, lend their aid to the student of the sacred page, and it is not proposed to add another to the long list. The author does not attempt a consecutive comment on any par ticular book of the Bible, but selects indiscriminately from all, such passages as contain the themes he desires to eluci date. The field is ample, and it is abundantly rich in sub jects for scenic and pictorial description. Whether he has succeeded in working out his own idea or not must be left for others to determine, but, if he has failed, it has not been through want of Opportunity to study the originals of which his pictures are to be Oopies. For a quarter of a century he has resided amid the scenes and the scenery to be described, and from midday to midnight, in winter and in summer, has gazed upon them with a joyous enthusiasm that never tired. The first impressions, corrected and improved by subsequent study and examination, are now reproduced for the eye of the public and the heart of the pious.

Download or read book Archaeology of the Land of the Bible written by Amihai Mazar and published by James Clarke Company. This book was released on 1993 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Israeli archaeologist Amihai Mazar introduces the achievements of the dynamic archaeological research in Israel and Jordan and discusses its implications for our knowledge of the world of the Old Testament. The volume covers the period starting with the first permanent settlements around 10,000 B.C.E., and ends with the destruction of the First Temple by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C.E. and the Babylonian domination of the country. Each of the archaeological periods is presented against its historical and biblical background. Various aspects of the material culture of each period are discussed: the distribution of settlements, the discoveries in the main sites, aspects of civil and religious architecture, pottery making, metallurgy, agriculture, crafts and arts, weapons, jewelry, ritual objects, writing, burial customs, and evidence for trade and cultural relations with neighbouring countries. All these subjects are briefly introduced to create the jigsaw puzzle out of which archaeologists reconstruct the cultural history of the country. The relationship between the archaeological evidence and biblical history is discussed in all relevant chapters. Step-by-step, era-by-era, Amihai Mazar shows just what each archaeological age has to teach the modern reader about the past.The book is illustrated with hundreds of line drawings, maps, photographs, and charts. Bibliographic references provide access to the most recent publications on each of the issues under discussion. This introductory synthesis was written for students and scholars, as well as for those readers interested in expanding their knowledge of the Bible and its world.
