Synopsis:
Essential to our understanding of the biblical text is a knowledge of the urban centers in the ancient Near Eastern world. R. K. Harrison has assembled a formidable group of scholars to examine these cities and villages in which the pageant of biblical history takes place. The disciplines of biblical scholarship, archaeology, sociology, and geography are joined in this work, to provide stimulating reading or a cogent reference tool which supplies insight into the ethos of each city. Cities that are discussed have been chosen either because of a considerable mention within the pages of the Old or New Testament or because their discovery and exploration lends important information illuminating the culture and history of the biblical period. Each entry highlights the city's most significant features.
