Exploring the World of the Bible Lands

This book is part of what appears to be a developing series with similar titles devoted to the Celts and to Egypt of the Pharaohs. It examines the history and more particularly the archaeology of the area commonly known as the Holy Land and is intended for interested inquirers and potential visitors. The author is an adult education lecturer who specializes in the history and archaeology of the Biblical period. This teaching background is reflected in her lively and interesting style. She is also secretary of the Anglo‐Israel Archaeological Society and has taken part in many excavations in Israel.
