Product Description
Menashe Har-El, Emeritus Professor of Biblical Geography at Tel Aviv University, has devoted his life to the study and teaching of the Bible. 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.

By studying the relationship between man and nature, a theme that runs throughout the Old Testament, the author looks at the influence each had on the other: the demands of the land shaping the character of its inhabitants even as man shaped the land to his needs.

Professor Har-El is the author of twelve books and numerous articles. He has received many awards for his work, including the coveted Israel Prize in 2002.
