Welcome to Jordan, the other Biblical land! Other than Israel, no country has as
many Biblical sites and associations as Jordan: Mount Nebo, from where
Moses gazed at the Promised Land he could not enter; Bethany beyond the
Jordan, where John baptized Jesus; Lot’s Cave, where Lot and his daughters sought
refuge after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; Madaba, home of a stunning
mosaic map of the Holy Land; the lands of the ancient kingdoms of Ammon, Moab and
Edom, and many more.
We’ve put together this e-book of articles on ancient Jordan to introduce readers to
this ancient land. Each article is written by an expert who is able to act as a virtual tour
guide sharing the depth of their experience and knowledge. This vicarious journey
brings to vibrant life the Biblical world in the "other" Holy Land and acquaints us with
magnificent sites and legendary stories.
