Fully updated with all the latest information, The Holy Land covers both well-known locations and hidden gems, with entries on such key sites as the Damascus Gate, the Via Dolorosa, Mount Sion, the Dead Sea, Hebron, and Jericho. For each place, this indispensable book provides detailed maps, plans, directions to the site, and illustrations that further illuminate these spectacular locales. The Fifth Edition includes new information on the crucial recent developments at the Holy Sepulchre and it has added six completely new sites, including a Middle Bronze Age water system in Jerusalem and what may be the original Pool of Siloam.
