Title: Historical geography of the Bible
First published: 1986
Description: "This book is a comprehensive study of texts and other data pertaining to the historical geography of the bible in the period of the first commonwealth. In the biblical texts that provide the basis for any historical map of the time, the dominant material relates to the terriorial allotments to the tribes. However, the historical and geographical interpretation of these texts remains highly controversial. Other geographical data, relating to various historical events of mostly uncontested chronology, are nevertheless also subject to varying interpretations as to their historical and geographical significance. Needless to say, there are also literary and linguistic problems involved, and these too are considered..." -- BOOK JACKET.
