A monumental work on the Biblical history of the Old and New Testaments by the outstanding Russian biblical scholar, professor of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy Alexander Pavlovich Lopukhin is collected in one volume. In his book, which went through 20 reprints until 1917, he collected and analyzed all the biblical, chronological, archaeological, historical and ethnographic material available by the end of the 19th century.
