He used his observations as a means to illustrate and illuminate passages from the Bible. Landing in Beirut in February of 1833, he was only the eighth Protestant missionary from the United States to arrive in the area. The Land and The Book gained favor due to it being directed toward the general public, rather than academics or theologians. Beautifully illustrated in very nice Victorian leather binding!
