Through lands of the Bible

Description:

Morton continues his journeys through the Middle East with his primary interest in Christian sites; this one from the 1930's complements his trips through the Holyland (In the Steps of the Master) and Turkey (In the Steps of St Paul). The journey takes him from Iraq through to Egypt and along the Nile River and also includes a visit to St Catherine's Monastery in Sinai. The books are of considerable interest to Christians and his own faith is palpable but they are also a fascinating picture of life in this region from that time, at least from the perspective of an Englishman.
