Azimov's book is a real guide to the ancient land, where more than two thousand years ago an event took place that changed the course of world history. You will learn about Palestine during the time of the Maccabees and the borders of the possessions of Herod the Great. You will follow the path of Christ and the apostles in their earthly ministry. Asimov touches on historical geography and ethnography, without ignoring the main biblical stories, ideas, images and episodes that are so organically woven into the existence of both an individual and the entire human race.
