Van Out-of-Doors in the Holy Land: Impressions of Travel in Body and Spirit E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Marius Borror, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Out-of-Doors in the Holy Land: Impressions of Travel in Body and Spirit" by Henry Van Dyke is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This book reflects the author’s personal journey through Palestine, combining both physical travel experiences and a spiritual exploration of the land where Jesus lived and preached. It captures the contrasting threads of adventure and introspection, as well as the author’s desire to connect deeply with the historical and spiritual significance of the Holy Land. At the start of the narrative, Van Dyke expresses his long-held dream of visiting Palestine, a dream that became possible after overcoming personal fears and life challenges. He emphasizes his wish to explore the land not as a mere tourist, but to immerse himself in its beauty and spirit, seeking to understand the essence of Christianity as an "out-of-doors" religion. The opening provides a sense of anticipation as he sets sail and recounts vividly the sights and feelings associated with landing in Jaffa, marking the beginning of his journey filled with reflections about personal faith, the natural landscape, and the rich history intertwined with the sacred geography of the area.
