Book Description
Excerpt from Jerusalem in Bible Times During the season of 1903-4 it was my privilege to reside in Jerusalem as director of the American School of Oriental Study and Research, and to carry on special investigations into the ancient history of the city. While thus engaged I was constantly reminded of the lack of a handbook giving in convenient form the results of the latest archaeological researches. Baedecker's admirable guidebook is necessarily brief, and discusses archaeological matters topographically, rather than in the historical order that is necessary, if one is to understand their significance. The learned works on Jerusalem of Professor Adam Smith, and of Dr. Selah Merrill, which have appeared since this book was written, are to elaborate and expensive to be used by the ordinary student or tourist. Intelligent travelers in visiting the Holy City are at the mercy of ignorant dragomans, who can only repeat the worthless traditions of the particular ecclesiastical bodies with which they happen to be connected. There is not a guide in Jerusalem who does not believe that the name of the southwest hill is Zion, yet no scientific archaeologist of today holds that view. At the time of the meeting of the World's Sunday-School Convention in Jerusalem hundreds of eager people found it impossible to get either from men or from books an accurate account of the remains of the ancient city. To help this difficulty I was invited to lecture before the convention and to conduct some parties about the city. At the close of the meeting I was asked to put my addresses into permanent form, so that it might be possible for those who had heard them, and for other students of the Bible, to give them more careful consideration. The result of this request has been the preparation and publication of this series of studies into the archaeological history of ancient Jerusalem. During the past year they have appeared in successive numbers of the Biblical World, and they are now issued in book form, with corrections and additions, in. the hope of reaching a still wider circle of readers. I trust that they will prove helpful both to students at home and to travelers in the Holy Land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Court of Pilate: A Story of Jerusalem in the Days of Christ An ominous silence, eloquent in its terrible significance of the tense state of public feeling, reigned over the city of Jerusalem. Outspoken threats and complaints were few, but in the homes, on the streets and in the places of trading men met each other with a glance wherein was expressed the most violent hatred of the existing government, or congregated in groups to discuss with bated breath, not daring to. speak openly, a fresh bit of injury and tyranny inflicted upon the Jewish people, only to scatter and disappear in all directions when the soldiery appeared on the scene. Throughout the city, and from one boundary of Judea to the other, low, unformed murmurings could be heard, - portentous and grimly expressive of the common hate of the people against the invaders and the wielders of law.

Book Description
Excerpt from Jerusalem: The Holy City, Its History and Hope Forms the sole standing-ground for this demand. Very few people know the Hebrew language, or are able to test these assertions, except by such light of ordinary criticism as they may happen to possess, by the laws of literature and the force of nature; but I think that few, comparatively, will be tempted to transfer a faith, in which they have been trained from their childhood, to a small group of unknown persons, whose motives are dubious, and their methods more ingenious than ingenu ous; and to reject on their authority, as a series of often fraudulent fables, the history so full of nature, so instinct with every feeling of humanity, which has been the food.

Book Description
Excerpt from Horeb and Jerusalem It is well known that some of the localities in the East, of deepest interest to the reader of Scripture, are involved in uncertainty and dispute. Great names can be quoted in support of various opinions regarding them, and not a few have resigned themselves to the conclusion that, at this distance of time, they are beyond the possibility of satisfactory identification. It is admitted at any rate, on all sides, that the most important section of Scripture Topography is open for further inquiry and settlement, and I hope, therefore, to be the more readily excused in presenting some aspects of the subject that have appeared to me worthy of attention, and that may contribute, in some degree, to a clearer elucidation of the sacred narrative. The localities here discussed refer to the scenes of the Exodus and the Redemption. In the first section of the book, I have attempted to trace the route of the Israelites from Goshen to Sinai, and to examine some of those questions which have had so prominent a place in recent controversies on the Pentateuch.

Book Description
Excerpt from Jerusalem Past and Present: The City of Undying Memories There would be a fine historical fitness in making palestjne again a Jewish State, guaranteed as to its integrity by a concert Of the Christian Powers. Failing that, the country should be administered by a Power great enough to protect it, devout enough to honour its Shrines, and tolerant enough to keep its gates Open to all who would come in peace or reverence, for the lordship of that city is a holy trust and should be so administered. We may trace back to Jeru salem many of the ideals for which the allied nations are fighting today. We seek a world whose Officers shall be peace and its exactors righteousness. We would make the spirit of Jesus the dominant spirit in the contact of nations. Surely we may see with the taking of Jerusalem by the Allies, the prophecy of the triumph of the ideals we up hold. It is right that those who are most loyal to what is most true to the Spirit of Jerusalem Should possess the city.
