This is the work of a biblical scholar with a deep love for his subject, who has crossed and recrossed every part of the Holy Land on foot, leaving no nook or cranny unexplored. Menashe Har-El, Emeritus Professor of Biblical Geography at Tel Aviv University, has devoted his life to the study and teaching of the Bible.
Observing the relationship between man and nature, a theme that runs throughout the Old Testament, the author weighs the influence each had on the other: the demands of the land of its inhabitants even as man shaped the land to his needs.
Professor Har-El is the author of twelve books and numerous articles. Over the years he has received many awards, including the prestigious Israel Prize in 2002.
