Understanding the Creation by Carta

This profound work explores the relationship between creation, the natural landscape of Israel, and humanity’s interaction with it throughout history. Prof. Menashe Har-El traces the dramatic geological origins of the land—from the stark Negev mountains to the verdant hills of Galilee—formed by ancient tectonic upheavals.

Equally important is his discussion of natural vegetation, forests, and the bond between man and plant life. Har-El examines how agriculture, religion, customs, commerce, architecture, medicine, and even perfumes were shaped by the resources of the land.

Special attention is given to the mining of ores, salt production at Mount Sodom, and the ancient trade routes through the Judean wilderness. With deep knowledge of both the Bible and the biblical landscape, Prof. Har-El leads readers through Israel’s land of wonders, offering a unique perspective that combines Scripture, history, and natural science.

Highlights include:

• Geological formation of Israel’s landscapes
• Natural vegetation and forest distribution
• Mining, salt production, and ancient industry
• The profound influence of plants on daily and spiritual life

No one was more attuned to the bond between the Bible and the land than Prof. Har-El, whose lifelong exploration brings the Holy Land vividly to life.
