“With the earth rolled back from this ancient city, we now think of Abraham as the citizen of a cultured, highly civilized community; he left it to become a sheep farmer and to wander about the world, as deliberately as a man to-day might leave London for Australia or New Zealand.”
Morton tells the story of his personal journeys through the lands of the Bible, beginning at Alexandretta, in Syria, and continuing by way of Aleppo to Bagdad, Babylon, and Ur of the Chaldees. The author takes the reader through Palestine to Egypt, ending with a description of Apostolic sites in Rome, where the author spends Easter week.
