1886 Cities of BASHAN Holy Land SYRIA Palestine Israel Jerusalem History Bible



“The Giant Cities of Bashan and Syrias Holy Places” by Rev. Josias Leslie Porter explores the ancient ruins in Bashan and religious sites in Syria, asserting that the gigantic structures were created by the regions original inhabitants before the Hebrew occupation. Porter, an Irish Presbyterian minister, missionary, and academic explains that his book does not aim to be an exhaustive description of all biblical sites; instead, it focuses on less explored regions, providing new information based on the authors extensive travels in the East. The narrative intertwines his personal observations with biblical history and prophecies, emphasizing the harmony between the Bible and its geographical context. Throughout his journey, the Bible remains Porters constant companion, enabling him to draw parallels between the ancient texts and the contemporary landscapes, ultimately showcasing the undeniably strong connection between the scripture and the land in which it was written.



This edition is enriched with tinted lithographed plates, several woodcut engravings of plans throughout the text.
