A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

During the last twenty-five years the attention of the Christian world has been directed to the Holy Land in wvs and to an extent heretofore unknown Learned and scientific explorers have penetrated every part of it, and given to the public the results of their researches. Commentaries, Bible dictionaries, books of travel, maps, plans, ;uide-books, pictures, and photographs have been greatly multiplied. The Palestine Exploration Fund of England has made a thorough survey of Palestine proper, and the American Exploration Society has sent sevesal expeditions to the regions east of the Jordan and theD eadS ea. In these and in other ways a great amount of new information in regard to Bible lands and theB ible itself has been accumulated ;and the author has endeavored to incorporate in this work the most valuable results of modern research and discovery. The main object being Biblical I llustration, the numberS cripture passages introduced is large. The Bible is made to speak for itself, in its own peculiar phraseology: hence the many direct, literal quotations. No consecutive comment on any particular book of theB ible is attempted, but the author selects from all such passages as contain or suggest the themes he desires to elucidate. This is his chosen field, the limit of his promise.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
