Very thorough and easy to understand. Superb text and great maps as well.
I checked out a library book on this subject. It wasn't nearly as thorough as this book is. I LOVE this book for study! It really gives me such a greater insight to the Bible including the culture of the people of OT days. The geography finally makes sense to me! The text is easy to understand and written in a way that makes it very comprehensive. In addition to the great text, the maps that are included are very helpful. For as thorough as this book is, I would have expected a heavier book. I love that this book is not heavy in weight. I highly recommend this book!
