A Pilgrimage to Palestine
by Harry Emerson Fosdick
1927. Dr. Fosdick has put his pilgrimage to Palestine in a category by itself by making it a simply amazing pageant of historical associations, an exhibit of the ramifications between the geographical features of Palestine and the contents of the Bible which is most illuminating. Often his method conveys to his reader such a sense of the veracity of Biblical records that the scene in question seems to rise up before him like a speaking apparition from the dead past. Contents: The Lie of the Land; The Background of History; The Impressiveness of Sinai; The Hebrew Invasion; The City of David; From Gilgal to Galilee; Journeys to the Prophets' Homes; With the Master in Nazareth; The Galilean Ministry; Going Up to be Crucified; Christ and Christianity in Palestine; and Palestine Tomorrow.

Harry Emerson Fosdick was an American clergyman. He was born in Buffalo, New York. He graduated from Colgate University in 1900, and Union Theological Seminary in 1904. While attending Colgate University he joined the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. He was ordained a Baptist minister in 1903 at the Madison Avenue Baptist Church at 31st Street. Fosdick was the most prominent liberal Baptist minister of the early 20th Century. Although a Baptist, he was Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church on West Twelfth Street and then at the historic, interdenominational Riverside Church (the congregation moved from the then-named Park Avenue Baptist Church, now the Central Presbyterian Church) in New York City.
Fosdick became a central figure in the conflict between fundamentalist and liberal forces within American Protestantism in the 1920s and 1930s. He saw the history of Christianity as one of development, progress, and gradual change. To the fundamentalists, this was rank apostasy, and the battle lines were drawn.
Fosdick was an outspoken opponent of racism and injustice. Fosdick's sermons won him wide recognition, as did his radio addresses which were nationally broadcast. He authored numerous books, and many of his sermon collections are still in print. He is also the author of the hymn, "God of Grace and God of Glory"
