Maggiori informazioni sul libro
David A. Dorsey examines the road system in Israel during the Iron Age (ca. 1200-586 B.C.) through literary and archaeological evidence. He provides a thorough investigation of the characteristics and nature of ancient roads, reconstructing the road network as it existed during the Old Testament period. His original research, based on years of fieldwork across Israel, combines archaeological remains, local topography, and literary sources, both biblical and secular. This volume illustrates how biblical characters may have traveled from point A to point B during significant episodes. Dorsey seeks to comprehensively describe and delineate the roads of Iron Age Israel, a period central to contemporary biblical scholarship. Scholars and laypeople alike will find Dorsey's work indispensable for understanding the functional world of the Bible. His methodology combines careful observation of the land's geography with textual and archaeological data, creating a map that contextualizes the reality of ancient Israel. Dorsey, who taught Old Testament at Evangelical Seminary until 2013, based his study on extensive investigations of ancient sites and biblical geography, culminating in a detailed treatment of the road system from Dan to Beersheba. His research serves as a valuable resource for those interested in biblical history and geography.
