The Story of the Holy Land Summary

The Story of the Holy Land: A visual history by Peter Walker

This is a highly illustrated, visually led guide through the story of the Holy Land, from Bible times to the present day. The Holy Land frequently features in today's headlines as a much fought-for territory. Many know part of its story, as recounted in the Bible, but what happened after Jesus' time? This book explores the OT and NT history of the Holy Land, as well as everything that happened later - the Muslim conquest, the crusades, and the modern rediscovery of Bible sites - unearthing the rich layers of history of this sacred place.

The Story of the Holy Land Reviews

"This beautiful illustrated hardback would make a welcome addition to the library or coffee table of anyone." Life and Work
"Stunning large-scale photographs, linked and illuminated by an insightful text, encapsulate the four thousand year sweep of the history of the Holy Land in a way that will refresh the expert and instruct the beginner." Jerome Murphy-O'Connor, OP, Ecole Biblique, Jerusalem
"The photos in this book are breathtaking! The text tells 4000 years of people living in the land of Israel, and makes this history come alive with numerous gorgeous illustrations on every page. It's a wonderful resource..." Laura Di Giovine
