Handbook of Bible geography
Reading the land enables us to read the Bible with greater insight. Though the truths of the Bible transcend time and place, they are rooted in them. Geographical data inform our understanding of activity in the land of the Bible, while the Bible’s own description of these events, embedded deeply in the realia of the land itself, helps us better understand the living context in which these events took place. When we develop a skill set that allows us to read the land of the Bible as fluently as we might read the text, we stand not only to gain a better appreciation of the divine-human events of Scripture, we also gain an understanding of how these events become relevant to us in our own particular living contexts.","taxExemptionCode":"90030","audienceManager":"productSubcategory":["reference","reference","reference","reference"],"productGroup":"Books","language":"English","ageGroup":"Adult","productType":"Reference Book","productCategory":["books","books","books-&-magazines","books-&-magazines","books-&-magazines","books"],"authors":["Holman Bible Publishers","Paul Wright"],"bisacSubject":"REL006650","alternativeFormatId":"TTLMGT4771490","subtitle":"Reading the Land","name":"Holman Illustrated Guide To Biblical Geography","publisher":"B&H Publishing Group","maxQty":"9999","distributionChannelCodes":"","items":["itemNumber":"005018792"],"productSubtype":"Commentary","caseQuantity":"10","longDescription":"Reading the land enables us to read the Bible with greater insight.
