From Green Hills of Galilee

By Cathal O'Byrne

Book Overview

From Green Hills of Galilee is a book written by Cathal O'Byrne. It is a memoir of the author's journey to Israel, where he discovers the beauty and complexity of the country's culture and history. The book is divided into chapters that explore different aspects of Israeli life, such as the kibbutz system, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the country's religious diversity. O'Byrne writes with a poetic and reflective style, sharing his personal experiences and observations with the reader. He also includes historical and political context to help the reader understand the complexities of the region. From Green Hills of Galilee is a thoughtful and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on Israel and its people.In the present volume, Cathal O'Byrne struck out a new line of extraordinary interest and vitality. Simon the Cyrenian, the Roman soldier who lanced the Master's side, the bride of Cana, Mary Magdalene, the Samaritan woman at the Well of Jacob, Pilate's wife, and others are among the men and women who make but a brief appearance, each, in the Gospel narrative; and having performed their predestined parts in relation to the Savior, they are suffered to sink again into obscurity. Yet their significance in the divine ordinance is very great, and many a devout reader has doubtless wished that something more were known of their antecedents and of what happened to them in the sequel. This is where Mr. O'Byrne steps in and by a happy exercise of his imaginative powers, he provides us with what we may accept as a possible answer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
