(or even several readings for that matter!) Having said that, even though it is a fairly deep academic study of the Temple mount archaeology, it's still an excellent read!<BR/><BR/>It will probably take me several readings just to dig out all the illustrative info!<BR/>Many thanks again.Bible artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875939553176288499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-7937178069323034942008-07-15T08:43:00.000+01:002008-07-15T08:43:00.000+01:00No wonder, it will take you a while to take it all...No wonder, it will take you a while to take it all in.

I've spent all day today drawing the mountains of Judea from a photo!<BR/> <BR/>The Quest has been incredibly helpful already and has enlightened me on many aspects of the Temple layout. There was much more that I wanted to write about so I thought that I might spread it out over a few posts.<BR/><BR/>I need to start reading the quest again as there was too much information to take in the first time around! The next book on my shopping list is 'The Ritual of the Temple in the Time of Christ.'Bible artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875939553176288499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-37985850704373025732008-07-14T18:07:00.000+01:002008-07-14T18:07:00.000+01:00Hello Graham,Thank you for your generous comments ...Hello Graham,<BR/>Thank you for your generous comments on my book! I am glad to see that it is used as a background for Bible illustrations. With a correct background, the illustrations become more powerful.<BR/>We just visited Jerusalem and many other sites a couple of weeks ago. It always reminds me of the fact the the Bible is placed in the Holy Land and provides the only correct setting for Bible illustrations.Leen Ritmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14041471621728973954noreply@blogger.com
