The Holy Land: An Oxford Archaeological Guide (Oxford Archaeological Guides)
Jerome Murphy-O'Connor
Oxford University Press, USA, 2008
Easity the best
This book is filled with the knowledge of vast experience and travel. If you want a book that doesn't just give the religiously naive and superstitious what they want to hear (like so many do), then this is your book. Excellent in several ways.
