Christians of all denominations, as well as broad-minded people of many faiths, have for centuries been fascinated with the story of the earthly travels of Jesus Christ. For many, however, especially in the days before travel became as easy as it has now become (and before the advent of photography), there was little chance of developing a concrete feeling for the terrain, the places and people, the customs and usages, of the land through which Christ walked and taught. However, the nineteenth century, especially the latter third, provided a unique opportunity to fill this need, for at that time, before the rapid modernization and, to some extent, secularization that was soon to overrun the Holy Land, it was still possible to wander these mountains and valleys, these shores and plains, and experience in many regions conditions not so very different from those that prevailed at the time of the events described in the New Testament. In addition, it had become possible to transport the necessary equipment for producing wood and metal engravings, and, toward the end of the century, early photographic gear as well. Although numerous travel accounts-many drawing on the expertise of biblical scholars and archeologists-stem from this time, one of the most respected, and at the same time profusely illustrated, works of such early documentary adventurers and explorers is this four-volume work, edited by Sir Charles Wilson, entitled Picturesque Palestine, Sinai and Egypt. The expertly written text is provided by a host of respected authorities of the time, who combined a scholarly disposition with a love of first-hand experience, through travel, of their chosen subject. It was indeed an exciting time. Even as such a magnificent set of tomes, with lavish illustrations, had to await a time when it could finally be produced, so now, using new printing technologies, we are able to rescue this priceless set from oblivion. First published in 1881, this work has been out of print for over a century, and highly sought after by scholars, libraries, and collectors. Indeed, more often than not, remaining copies of this rare set have been dismembered and sold piecemeal, illustration by illustration. And so it with great pleasure, indeed joy, that Reviviscimus Press has undertaken to bring this wonderful work back into print. We hope it will enrich and nourish a whole new generation of readers.

Picturesque Palestine: Egypt and Sinai

WILSON, CHARLES

<p>"The Problem with the Other Sacraments is a must read for anyone who is concerned about saving their immortal soul and understanding deceptions and errors of the Second Vatican Council. In this book, Dr. Coomaraswamy exposes the defects of the sacraments of the Conciliar Church. He exposes the planned self-destruction of the Church as designed and executed by the Conciliar and Post-Conciliar progressive clergy, and their subtle plan to crucify the Church by destroying the sacraments." [Bishop Joseph S. Macek] "Today, we are witnessing the auto-destruction of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. For the past 2,000 years, Satan has sought to destroy the Faith by perverting the truths that Christ taught the Apostles. Beginning in Jesus's own time with the betrayal of the arch-heretic Judas Iscariot, and continuing through the centuries, waves of error have threatened to destroy the Church, only to break and be dashed upon the Rock of Peter. With the inception of the Second Vatican Council, however, this spirit of arch-heresy has been welcomed into the Church of Rome by progressivists. Today, we are witnessing the sin of malfeasance. Priests, Bishops, Cardinals, and Popes have embraced the spirit of Judas Iscariot and have betrayed Christ by allowing the Church to be destroyed from within. Satan is having His hour. "Traditions are not 'changed', they are either kept or discarded. Destroy Christian (Catholic) Tradition-immemorial, if not Apostolic, ceremonies, laws and practices of the Church-and you undermine the Church itself. Such was the strategy of the modernists who, under the aegis of John XXIII's aggiornamento ('updating'), quickly seized control of the Second Vatican Council, which laid the groundwork for the overthrowing of Tradition. The revision of the Mass and the sacraments came in the wake of the Council; the specific changes made to the sacraments other than the Mass are well documented here by Dr. Coomaraswamy."
