This book supplements rather than competes with the various atlases of the Bible that are available, for it deals primarily with matters of physical geography, with geological formations, climate, flora, fauna, topography, and the like. With many new maps and photographs, this new edition of an already standard work demonstrates again the author's competence, conscientiousness, and industry. It is a book for study and reference rather than continuous reading. The descriptions of Palestinian topography and climate are made relevant by frequent biblical quotations and references. The Geography of the Bible is exceptionally valuable to students and professors as well as pastors. The book contains 74 maps and diagrams and 61 photographs. - Jacket flap.
