I was looking for a good overview of Biblical History in preparation for a visit to the Meditterranean when I chanced upon this book. Wow. Clear and concise, readable, and linked to the geography and sites still present.

The presentation is geared mostly toward the christian by a pastor/scholar/tour guide.

I teach an adult Sunday School class and like to make the history come alive. This book really does that. It adds an appreciation for the idea that the places in the Bible are real. It covers the Holy Land nicely as it is today, but adds a lot of Biblical history - why is the area meaningful. At the same time, it is highly readable. The only drawback that I find, is a lack of maps. But that is a personal preference, since I used to teach geography. Also, if you are looking for lots of pictures, this is not the book for you.

This is one of our best books in our library that we use to teach a revelation of Hebraics. Nothing is written just to take up space. You need to know the history before you can properly teach HisStory.
Excellent book.
