"Many will wish to take advantage of the learning here collected." -- Jim West, Zwinglius Redivivus "This book is not only a necessity for archaeologists interested in the land of Israel but highly recommended for everyone with an interest in the religion and daily life of the people who inhabited the Holy Land from 1100 BCE to the Byzantine Period. I found each and every chapter to be interesting and instructive from beginning to end and consequently one of the most enjoyable and informative books I have read during the past year." --Philippus J. Botha, Review of Biblical Literature, 3.9.16
