AB From the ruins of the ancient seaside city of Acco, to the small but archaeologically important town of Yokneam, "Fifty Major Cities of the Bible" provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the ancient cities that played a vital role in the world from which the Bible originated. Not only covering renowned cities such as Jerusalem and Jericho, the book also includes lesser known towns like Aroer, Beth-Zur and Gibeah, which have all provided their own valuable contributions to the way in which we now understand the biblical world. It is a fascinating, easy-to-follow text, with key features including: the biblical context of each city or town; a summary of its known archaeological history; non-biblical references to the site; photographs and illustrations; and a concise bibliography for further reading. Also provided is a handy reference map to the major archaeological sites in Israel, as well as chronological tables for easy reference. Concise, informative and high accessible, "Fifty Major Cities of the Bible" is a superb overview of the cities and towns that made up the Biblical world, and an essential resource for students and enthusiasts.
