5.0 out of 5 stars Encyclopedia of the Middle East, July 4, 2003

By	John Wicklund (Twin Cities, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ever been confused about the Middle East? Get confused about who was in charge on a particular year in history? Perplexed about how the names of cities and regions changed over time?

This is your book.

I have heard Randall Price in bible prophecy conferences. He is an outstanding archeologist and bible scholar and is uniquely qualified to put this book together.

There is so much disinformation about the Middle East. If you want to be mislead, follow CNN and the major media players. If you want a "Reader's Digest" version of the Middle East, this is your book. Dr. Price is devoutly supportive of Israel and its right to the land. (Genesis 15:18)

It is a skinny book but chock full of information. I have it on my shelf like an encyclopedia reference. Thank you, Dr. Price for your work. We look forward to your visit to the Twin Cities in September 2003 at a bible prophecy conference. God bless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate background and depiction of the situation to 2003 , March 19, 2006

By	Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Randall Price is a believing Christian who is also a strong supporter of Zionism and Israel.
He , in my opinion, gets the whole story of the Middle East conflict in the right way.
This work however was published in 2003 and because of the rapidity of events, needs to be brought- up-to -date.
Its background information is excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quick informative read., August 4, 2004

By	S. Adams "dance goddess" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book does an excellent job of explaining a complex subject in a very small amount of space. It gives a detailed timeline of the "Problem in the Middle East." Its question and answer format makes it easy to read and easy to find information. However there is a noticable slant toward the Israeli side of the conflict.
