American Bible Society Sacred Places

Jesus didn't preach in Manhattan, and Moses didn't part Lake Michigan. Sacred Places takes you from the comforts of 21st Century living and transports you to the sights and sounds that the Bible characters experienced. When we hear of Bible characters or read their story, we often visualize scenes drawn from our own bank of experiences rather than the real places. Sacred Places explores these real locations. The Red Sea, Mt. Sinai, Jericho, Golgotha-each forms a textured backdrop to a story of the Bible. This book frames Biblical events in their original settings and brings them to life. More than just settings from a distant, historical event, readers will discover how many of these locations remain important destinations in the faith development of modern Bible readers.
