Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from From the Nile to Nebo: A Discussion of the Problem and the Route of the Exodus
Now, Dr. Eli Smith, followed by Dr. C. V. A. Van Dyck, were the translators of the modern Arabic Bible. It has been my supreme privilege to follow their footsteps, al beit afar 03, in adding something to the value of that great translation. It was also my privilege to know Dr. Thomson toward the end of his life when he was revis ing his volumes for the last time. And it will be another greater privilege if in this volume I can add, in the light of later research some small increment to the real knowl edge of the Bible.
After I had written more than half of its contents in a form that would have delighted the makers of a cyclopedia and other books of reference, it occurred to me that I was writing something that my children would not read and which might prove unattractive to my classmates and friends to whom I have dedicated the volume. I had carefully divided the subject matter into two main divi sions, the Problem and the Route, but I then decided to weave the whole material into the story itself, discuss ing the various problems and theories and hypotheses, as it were, by the way.
