| "The purpose of this book is to give a connected account of the archaeological background of the Hebrew-Christian religion. The presentation of this archaeological background is in the form of a continuous account extending, in round numbers, from 5000 B.C. to A.D. 500. In order to give a more vivid sense of direct contact with the living past, frequent quotations are made from the ancient sources, and numerous photographs are presented of actual places and objects."--
