"This is an account of a spiritual pilgrimage through the Holy Land, by one who went with his mind prepared by a study of its history, as told in the Bible and many other chronicles, but who was unconvinced of the truth of Christianity. His realization of the Past in what he say with his own eyes made a profound effect upon him. [. . .] Throughout the book the Holy Land as it is to-day, in the grip of racial passions and hatred and terror, where Arab, Englishman and Jew daily walk in fear of their lives, provides a vivid backcloth of physical strife, savage, selfish and fanatical." - from dust-jacket blurb.
