Synopsis

In Scripture Lands: New Views Of Sacred Places by Edward Wilson is a book that takes readers on a journey through the ancient lands of the Bible. The author provides a detailed description of the various sacred places mentioned in the Bible, including Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and many others. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different location, and includes photographs, illustrations, and maps to help readers visualize the places being discussed. The author also provides historical and cultural context for each location, explaining how they were significant in the lives of the people who lived there, and how they continue to be important to people of faith today. In addition to providing a detailed look at the sacred places themselves, the author also explores the stories and legends that have grown up around them over the centuries. Overall, In Scripture Lands: New Views Of Sacred Places is a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the places that have shaped the religious and cultural history of the world.

A propos du livre

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Moreover, by mixing with the people and wandering tribes, and by becoming mixed with them against my will, sometimes, I have gained some light upon oriental life, and secured some more apt illustrations for the sacred writings, as well as new and valuable pictures of the countries through which I wandered. I have thus partly supplied the want with which I started out. I sincerely wish that my labors may prove of service to many others. Edward L. Wilson. New Tore, November,
