Archaeological Encyclopedia of the Holy Land

"Spanning ten millennia from earliest prehistory to the Arab conquest, the Archaeological Encyclopedia of the Holy Land is the definitive one-volume reference to the ancient land of the Bible, combining scientific discovery and literary and religious tradition to produce a deeper understanding of human culture. Here the settings of three of the world's major religions are examined, correlating the most up-to-date archaeological information with the biblical record of the Holy Land."--BOOK JACKET.
