Description

Inviting study of the land of the Bible and its regions Maps and descriptions of geographical regions and their history Historical overviews and large format beautiful history charts Integrative study of the biblical message set within its original context Geographical outline of the Gospels Essential companion for study of the Bible and ancient history Detailed description: Regions on the Run, produced by Biblical Backgrounds, presents regions, routes and economic strategies in the land’s three main arenas and illustrates these through historical events. The book is laid out in two-page spreads addressing the following topics: Pages 6-9 (two introductory spreads) discuss the land of the Bible as a ‘Land Between’ the physical forces of sea and desert, wet and dry and the powerful centers of Egypt and Aram (northwestern Mesopotamia) and also set the land’s story within the shadow of the Imperial Highways that linked Egypt with Aram. Pages 10-15 (three colorful spreads) present the land’s well-watered and heavily traveled Northern Arena with its major battlefields surrounded by Phoenicia, Damascus and the northern kingdom of Israel. Pages 16-21 (three more spreads) present the land’s arid and more difficult Southern Arena, which hosted major trade routes disputed by Edom, the land of the Philistines and the southern kingdom of Judah. Pages 22-29 (four spreads) examine the land’s strategic Central Arena as the battlefield of the Central Hill Country and Jerusalem. Gateways in and out of this arena make it the focal point of biblical history. Pages 30-41 (one spread) provide a lucid summary of history from the time of Isaiah to the days of Jesus; a parallel outline of the four Gospels with regional color-coding; and Bible history set graphically in three historical charts.
