The Story of Jericho, by John Garstang and J. B. E. Garstang

- Abstract

Everyone knows that the walls of Jericho came tumbling down, and archaeology has confirmed the fact. In the present volume, a revision of one issued originally in 1940, Professor Garstang, the principal excavator of the site, attempts, with the aid of his son, to present a connected history of the city in the light of what he has found there and to fit into that history the Biblical account of the invasion under Joshua.
