The land where the Word-Made-Flesh dwelt among men must ever continue to be an important part of Revelation, and Palestine may be fairly regarded as the divinely prepared tablet whereupon God’s messages to men have been graven in ever-living characters by the Great Publisher of Glad Tidings. It is from this land we have received that marvelous spiritual language through which we gain nearly all true religious knowledge. Here it was devised and first used, and here are found its best illustrations.

The sites and scenes described in The Land and the Book were visited many times during the author’s long residence in the country; the results, so far as they bear on biblical illustration, appear in the current narrative. The conversations were held in the open country, on horseback, by the wayside, or beneath the traveler’s tent, and the reader is at liberty to regard himself as a compagnon de voyage. Volume one covers the Kingdom of Judah, including within its territorial limits the whole of Southern Palestine and Jerusalem.
