The Holy Land Past And Present: Sketches of Travel in Palestine

1868. Aimed at young readers, Reverend Osborn's text describes the Holy Land, while embodying the researches of modern travel, by which ecclesiastical tradition respecting the ancient places in and around Jerusalem and throughout Palestine has been tested and discarded, when not supported by circumstances known to us from the Scriptures, or from other contemporary testimony. An aid to the study of the Bible and a knowledge of scriptural topography and antiquities. Advanced Biblical scholars and men of science will also find this volume to be of interest.
