Scripture Pictures of the Holy Land

Scripture pictures is an illustrated tour of Israel that consists of two parts. The first two/thirds is a tour of the sites normally seen as pilgrims travel in Israel. It contains over 220 color photographs chosen from over six thousand taken in Dr. Hall's tours to the Holy Land. When reading the scripture we get a mental picture of the story portrayed. The image of people or places is never the way we envisioned once we actually see them. I had that experience when I saw and retraced first hand the steps of Jesus in the land. In Scripture Pictures you see the land as it was. In addition it provides the social, economic, and political pictures with the scriptural life trail of Jesus. The compiling of all these pictures gives the reader a much more comprehensive "three dimensional" picture of the circumstances and events that took place during the Biblical times. Taking over 10 years to complete Scripture Pictures of the Holy Land will enlarge ones understanding of the life and times of Jesus the Messiah.
