To know a people well one must be acquainted thoroughly with the land in which they live. The physical structure of a nation, its mountains and waterways, its seas and valleys, its cities and highways, its plains and deserts, has an effect upon the history of its inhabitants. The more one knows about these places, the better his knowledge of the people. Bible lands reflect Bible history! A knowledge of this history is not complete without an acquaintance with the places which contribute to that history.
A DICTIONARY OF FAMOUS BIBLE PLACES lists over 500 of the villages, cities, rivers, mountains, provinces, valleys, nations in the Bible and a brief summary of their location and their contribution to the main stream of the unfolding drama of Bible life and history. Of a necessity, definitions are limited and it is suggested that the reader examine carefully the texts which are included with each Bible place, that additional knowledge may be acquired.
It is hoped that this modest volume will stimulate your interest in the lands of the Bible and increase your desire to know more about the places which were so important to the lives of the people of the Holy Scriptures.
