About the Author
This lively narrative of the history of a region of considerable importance in world history deserves a wide readership. With evident affection and deep thought about the place in which he himself is at home, Matt Silver has incorporated a wide spectrum of scholarship into a carefully constructed account of the significance of Galilee in various religious and national traditions. His book will enlighten all who live in Galilee or visit the region, enabling them to gain a deeper appreciation of the significance of Galilee for traditions apart from their own.
