FIFTY MAJOR CITIES OF
THE BIBLE
From the ruins of the ancient seaside city of Acco to the small but
archaeologically important town of Yokne˛am,
Fifty Major Cities of
the Bible
provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the ancient
cities that played a vital role in the world from which the Bible
originated.
Included are not only well-known cities such as Jerusalem and
Jericho, but also lesser-known towns like Aroer, Beth-Zur, and
Gibeah, which have all provided their own valuable contributions
to the way in which we now understand the biblical world.
Includes:
• the biblical context of each city or town
• a summary of its known archaeological history
• non-biblical references to the site
• photographs and illustrations
• a concise bibliography for further reading
Also provided is a handy reference map to the major archaeological
sites in Israel, as well as chronological tables for easy reference.
Concise, informative and highly accessible,
Fifty Major Cities of the
Bible
is a superb overview of the cities and towns that made up the
biblical world, and an essential resource for students and enthusiasts.
John C. H. Laughlin
is Professor of Religion and Chair of the
Department of Religion, Averett University in Danville, Virginia. He
is an experienced field archaeologist who has served on the staff of
several excavations, and is also the author of

(Routledge, 1999).
