Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Scripture Geography: With an Atlas
Some knowledge of the countries and places, in which the memorable transactions recorded in the Bible took place, can not but be regarded as important; as it affords assistance in un derstanding the Scriptures, and in enabling one to read them with satisfaction and advantage; and the facts recorded are more firmly impressed on the mind by connecting them with the places where they occurred yet this is a branch of learn ing which has been much neglected; and nothing is more common than to meet with well educated persons, who have little acquaintance with the subject.
As it is not the design of the Scriptures'to instruct us in geography, matters of this sort are mentioned only inciden tally it therefore happens, on account of the remoteness of the time, and the want of other sources of information equally ancient, that there are many points relating to the geography of the Bible, which are attended with great uncertainty. It has been the design of the author of this treatise to follow the best guides, and to notice such matters as are most important; but he has avoided all discussion of doubtful topics.
