- Summary
- "The Holy Land is unrivalled as a region combining breathtaking beauty with undeniable historical and religious significance. Its position as the birthplace of the three major Abrahamic faiths - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam - gives it a special place in the hearts of millions. Only rarely does a book come along that captures this remarkable land in a fresh light. In the Footsteps of Abraham, an extraordinary publishing event, does just that, presenting a unique opportunity to experience the peoples, landscapes, and architecture of the Holy Land as they were at the tum of the last century, before the region underwent the radical changes of modernization."--BOOK JACKET.
