The Holy Land in the Light of Recent Surveys and Explorations by Henry B. Waterman Pdf
Excerpt from The Holy Land in the Light of Recent Surveys and Explorations: A Hand Book for Sunday-School Teachers and Bible Students But while the survey of the surface of the country has been completed, there is still a'great future for the work of excavation. We have run into the ground most of the questions. It only remains to dig them up Mr. F. J. Bliss, an American in the employ of the English Society, has just commenced digging on Mount Zion with a View of ascertaining the direction of the ancient first wall of the city. I have invoked the aid Of the Higher Criticism, in so far as its results are well settled, for I believe that archaeology and literary criticism may be made mutu ally helpful. The relief map of Palestine I consider the finest ever published. It is a correct and impressive repro duction Of the exact shape and physical varieties Of the land. The other maps and charts have been especially prepared by that eminent cartographer, Mr. Charles E. Petford, with great care and in excellent good taste.
