| Summary |
"Names and Places in the Old and New Testament and Apocrypha, with Their Modern Identifications" by George Armstrong is a reference work written in the late 19th century. This compilation serves as a detailed index and guide for identifying biblical locations mentioned in the Old Testament, New Testament, and Apocryphal texts, alongside their modern counterparts. The work aims to assist scholars and readers in correlating biblical geography with contemporary sites. The opening of the text includes a transcriber’s note detailing typographical conventions that will be used throughout the work, followed by the preface which outlines how the index was constructed from various sources, including significant biblical dictionaries and surveys of historical areas. Armstrong notes that the index will include more than 1,150 names from the Old Testament and Apocrypha, along with 162 names from the New Testament, and explains the methods and references used for modern identifications, indicating a serious scholarly approach to biblical geography.
