Since its first publication in this country, Yohanan Aharoni’s informative, fact-filled work has been a prime source in its field. Now considerably enlarged, and with both text and maps updated, this classic study offers an even more accurate description of the geography, history, and archeology of Palestine. The Land of the Bible is an essential textbook that will continue to serve both scholars and students for years to come.
Yohanan Aharoni was a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. Aharoni carried out extensive archeological excavations, directed the first explorations of the Judaen Desert Caves near En Geddi, and discovered the Bar Kochba Caves.
