About the Author
Henry Vollam Morton was born in 1892 near Manchester, England. He became an international celebrity by scooping the world's press in the sensational discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in the early 1920s. His newfound fame subsequently led to a series of extraordinarily popular vignettes on English city and country life, which went on to sell millions of copies worldwide. He died in South Africa in 1979 at the age of eighty-six.

4.0 out of 5 stars
great stuff slightly marred towards the end....,
By "soullessrex" (london) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In The Steps Of St. Paul (Paperback)
I coincidently heard about Morton from 2 sources at the same time; the wonderful Israeli historian Amos Elon is full of praise for Morton, and an orthodox catholic mate of mine thought I'd like him, so I checked him out...I read 'Through Lands of the Bible' first and couldn't put it down. Great stuff, it demonstrated Morton's emminently readable style, and was packed with as much humour as piety. I could not wait to read In the Steps of St. Paul and liked it almost as much. 'Almost' because the... theme that ran through got a little too heavy towards the end, and I'm always suspicious of Christians who hate - even if you do blame 'the Jews' for killing Jesus, wouldn't Jesus expect you to forgive? Anyway, if you're an anti-semite, that shouldn't be a problem, and if you're a [Jewish] with thick skin (like Elon I presume) give it a go...
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: In The Steps Of St Paul (Hardcover)
This book is so interesting. Written by a historian that must love the Lord. The detail of the sites and countries almost made me want to go there myself. Written a long time ago he was able to get into countries that are restricted to us now. So to read about the sites what they look like now and back then in Biblical times is a pleasure. I use this book to help me prepare for Bible study. I am very happy to have it in my Christian library.
