History comes alive! Canaanites, Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Crusaders, Mamelukes – you will meet them all, and more, on the pages of "A Historical Tour of the Holy Land" as you tour from event to event in the history of this small piece of land nestled between Egypt and the Fertile Crescent. Concise and easy to read, replete with colour photographs, maps, diagrams and short descriptions of the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament and the Koran, this book is impartial and thus suitable for those who are interested in, or intrigued by, the long and often turbulent history of the Land of Israel, the Holy Land.
