This volume is 'user friendly' and full of relevant historical and
geographical information. Readers will find cities from antiquity
described in such ways that the broader biblical world comes into
focus and the Bible's setting is illumined. . . . this is a handy
reference volume for [readers'] perusal.
--J. Andrew Dearman, Professor of Old Testament Studies, Austin
Presbyterian Theological Seminary The book should fill an important
niche in instructional work in biblical history and archaeology. It
provides in one easily accessible source information that is
available only in multiple sources. The next time I offer a course
in Archaeology and the Ancient Near East, this book will be one of
the texts.
--Bruce C. Cresson, W.W. Melton Professor of Religion and Director,
Institute of Archaeology, Baylor University
