Since its first publication in this country, Yohanan Aharoni's informative, fact-filled work has been a prime source in its field. Now considerably enlarged, and with both text and maps updated, this classic study offers an even more accurate description of the geography, history, and archeology of Palestine. The Land of the Bible is an essential textbook that will continue to serve both scholars and students for years to come.

Land of the Bible By Yohanan Aharoni,
This review is from: The Land of the Bible, Revised and Enlarged Edition: A Historical Geography (Paperback)
This Book is Excellant and better than I could ever imagined. There are places the Bible speakes of that you cannot locate on most maps, however the maps in this book takes away all doubts of where it is. It is an excellent tool for anyone that studies the Bible and I highly recommend that they add it to their study collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Worth reading, but a bit dry,
This review is from: The Land of the Bible, Revised and Enlarged Edition: A Historical Geography (Paperback)
I enjoyed the book but not as much as I had hoped. It is filled with so many superflous details, that at times I was lost waiting for the author to reach his point of deliever the information I was looking for. If someone is looking for an indepth book on the history and geography of Israel and the surrounding region, then this is a great read. However, if basic information concerning the geography of Isreal (especially during the first century) is what you are after, then pass on this one.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent.,

This review is from: The Land of the Bible, Revised and Enlarged Edition: A Historical Geography (Paperback)
You can't study archaeology of the ancient near east and archaeology of the Bible without this work. This is probably the best work on this subject. Fantastic!
