| Summary: | This short book is a delight and a joy to read. Bringing together the material of his Didsbury Lectures (2001), Gordon ranges judiciously over a wide range of issues relating to the land of the Bible—both as discussed within the biblical text and then in subsequent Jewish and Christian interpretation. Complex matters are touched on, often with insightful brevity, and with almost every paragraph readers may find themselves sent away with whole new insights to explore and ponder., Particularly noteworthy is the wide range of topics with which Gordon is willing to engage. Although, as one would expect, there is a clear anchorage in his own discipline of Old Testament issues, the book continues into New Testament issues and then on into Christian history. |
