Biblical Geography and History

"Biblical Geography and History" by Charles Foster Kent is an early 20th-century exploration of the connection between the Bible and the lands it describes. The book looks into how the geography of the region, including its landscapes and cultures, influenced the stories and people of the Bible. Kent argues that understanding the physical features of the biblical world is key to understanding the events and characters in the Bible. Based on his travels to the biblical lands, Kent explains that geography is more than just describing the Earth; it's essential for understanding history because the land shaped the beliefs, culture, and actions of the ancient Hebrews.
