For nineteenth century scholars the Holy Land was not just a region
of the globe, it was an idea, an intellectual and a moral space
charged with the heat of debate between those trying to understand
the religious, social and scientific upheavals of the time. Edwin
Aiken explores the various ways in which geographical knowledge was
used in these debates and shows how religious writers called upon
geographical knowledge to the benefit of their readers. The result
is an original and stimulating work of scholarship that
demonstrates the significance of the geography of the Holy Land in
Western thought and argument, and makes important contributions to
the history of geography, the nature of Orientalism, and to the
evolving relationship between religion and science.
