Summary: "Biblical Geography and History" by Charles Foster Kent is a scholarly historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the geographical and historical context of the biblical world, particularly the lands and cultures that shaped the narratives found in the Scriptures. Kent investigates the relations between the physical characteristics of the region and the development of biblical events and characters, emphasizing the significance of the land in understanding biblical narratives. The opening of the text provides a preface where Kent discusses the evolving significance and understanding of geography as a science, especially in relation to history. He emphasizes that geography not only encompasses the description of the Earth's surface but is also crucial to understanding historical events. Kent notes that biblical geography serves as a foundational framework for comprehending the actions and beliefs of the ancient Hebrews, suggesting that the physical landscape directly influenced their culture, faith, and institutions. He reveals that his observations are based on travels he undertook in the biblical lands, aiming to provide an accessible introduction to biblical studies that integrates geographical data with historical context.
