As you read this book, you will enter upon an adventure which only until recently lay hopelessly buried in technical and scientific treatises. Professor Edwards dug deep into these writings and brought forth a thrilling, accurate, brilliantly clear account of the men who found the hidden treasures and pushed back the horizons of Biblical history. However, this book is not a travelogue, and recounts but few of the interesting experiences the tourist has had while traveling Bible lands. It is, rather, a collection of impressions gained at historical sites where Bible history was made, and of studies, undertaken at those sites, that illustrate Biblical statements, show how predictions made by prophets of old have been fulfilled, corroborates the veracity of the Biblical record, and informs our understanding of the future.
