Sample Book Insights:
#1 The story of the patriarchs takes up the final thirty-nine chapters of Genesis, and covers the entire geographical spectrum of the ancient Near East. However, there are numerous candidates for Mount Sinai, and many theories about which path the Israelites took through the Sinai.
#2 The goal of our journey was to place the Bible’s stories in the historical and cultural context of the ancient Near East. We decided to begin our travels in Israel with a bit of a long shot, asking if the Israeli Army would allow us to walk across the Damia Bridge to the Jordanian side, then walk back.
#3 The narrow strip of land between the Jordan and the Mediterranean has been a curiosity, a place to pass through but not to stay, since its inception. It was never able to develop into a great empire, but it was that lack of an empire that may have allowed God to promise it to Abraham.
#4 The State of Israel can be roughly divided into three sections – the head and shoulders of the Galilee, the torso made up of the central hills, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv, and the legs and feet of the Negev. The 1937 British plan to partition Palestine gave Jews only the head and shoulders.
