About this book
Ronald Harker has chosen eight sites which have provided information on places and events spanning the story of Jewry and the birth of Christianity: Ur, Babylon and Nineveh; Jericho; Jerusalem; Masada; caves in the limestone cliffs near Engedi; and the ruins of a monastery in the parched rocky wilderness near the Dead Sea. His story spans some two thousand years, from Abraham's departure from Ur towards the Promised Land, to the Great Dispersion of the Jewish people after their final revolt against Rome in 132 AD under the leadership of the `Last Prince of Israel', Shimon bar Kokhba.
