{"product_id":"a-history-of-sinai","title":"A History of Sinai","description":"\u003cp\u003eSinai is the peninsula  triangular in form  which projects into the Red Sea between Egypt and Arabia. The name used to be applied to the mountainous region of the south  now it is made to comprise the land as far north as the Mediterranean. Sinai is famous for the part which it has played in the religious history of mankind. It was at one time a centre of moon-cult  before it became the seat of the promulgation of the Law to the Jews at the time of Moses. In Christian times it was one of the chief homes of the hermits  and the possession of the relics of St. Katherine in the great convent of the south  caused Sinai to be included in the Long Pilgrimage throughout the Middle Ages. A history of Sinai deals with the people who visited the peninsula at different times  rather than with its permanent inhabitants  who  in the course of centuries  seem to have undergone little change. They still live the life of the huntsman and the herdsman as in the days of Ishmael  sleeping in the open  and adding to their meagre resources by carrying dates and charcoal to the nearest centres of intercourse  in return for which they receive corn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"PAPERBACK","offer_id":52390114361624,"sku":"9781639239337","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"HARDCOVER","offer_id":52390114394392,"sku":"9781639239436","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/content_45b39e5e-5ffd-4fd9-bd59-2c8cc8aab724.jpg?v=1783757971","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/a-history-of-sinai","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
