Zusammenfassung:"In the far northern reaches of Israel, at the foot of Mt. Hermon, lie the ruins of Paneas (modern Banias). Long a shrine to local gods, the Greeks saw in the site and the large cave the auspices of Pan, god of woods and shepherds. With the establishment of Herod's temple to Augustus, a city grew grounded in the Greco-Roman religions of the day. No less than Jesus and his disciples stopped in the city to establish the church and denounce an ancient evil birthed in the region. Paneas weathered the changes of the Late Roman Era and made the preparations to survive for centuries. Students of ancient history and the Bible will wish to add this volume to their libraries."--Page [4] of cover
