The Pathways and Abiding Places of Our Lord: Illustrated in the Journal of a Tour, Through the Land of Promise (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Pathways and Abiding Places of Our Lord: Illustrated in the Journal of a Tour, Through the Land of Promise

Not a book upon Palestine was ever thrown aside unopened. Trusting to a like sensibility in many readers, the hope is cherished, that if the freshness Of novelty be wanting, the subject will secure for itself a certain degree of interest.

The original design was to unite in one volume a visit to Egypt and the Holy Land, making the narrative, as far as possible, illustrative Of Scripture History. TO the Christian reader Egypt is mainly interesting from its association with the Bible, and because God's chosen people were there held in bondage. That name of Palestine which most suggests sacred memories and hopes, is the Land of Promise. The title, therefore, would have been, the land OF bondage and the land OF promise. This design has not been abandoned. But in the mean time it occurred that the journal Of a tour in the Holy Land might fitly illustrate the thought which was ever present, and which the title expresses: the pathways and abiding places OF our lord.
