Summary: "The Holy Land and Syria" by Frank G. Carpenter is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work offers an exploration of the geographical, cultural, and historical aspects of the Holy Land and its surrounding regions, reflecting on the intertwining of contemporary life with biblical history. Carpenter's narrative is likely informed by his first-hand experiences and interactions during his extensive travels, providing readers with insights into a land of deep religious significance. The opening of the book presents an introduction to the themes and purposes of Carpenter’s travels, emphasizing the transition of Palestine from a land under Moslem rule to one increasingly dominated by Christians and Jews following World War I.
