Helpful Articles Researching Your Lebanese or Syrian Ancestry by Sandra Hasser Bennett History (and a Little Geography) Notwithstanding current political disputes, Lebanon and Syria share a narrow strip of land 400 miles long by 150 miles wide, extending from the Taurus range and the Euphrates in the north, to the Sinaitic peninsula in the south, hemmed in by the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the desert to the east. According to Dr. Philip Hitti, an early Twentieth Century historian, occupants of this land are a mixed Semitic race, descended from ancient Phoenician-Canaanite and Aramaen Israelite tribes who arrived between 2500 and 1500 B.C., and Arabs who drifted in from the desert and gradually passed from a nomadic to an agricultural life. Arabic spoken today reflects this heritage. Modern-day inhabitants of Lebanon and Syria – and their Arab-American cousins – may be descended from Greek settlers of the Seleucid period, Crusaders, or Kurdish and Persian invaders and traders of more recent times. From the early 16th Century until World War I, Syria and the Mount Lebanon region were part of the Ottoman Empire. For this reason, most Lebanese and Syrians immigrating before 1918 had Turkish passports, and were grouped in U. S. Census Abstracts under the heading “Turkish” or “Asian.” After the First World War, Lebanon and Syria operated under French mandate, gaining independence in the 1940s.

An Overview of New Testament Geography by Prof. Felix Just, S.J. - Loyola Marymount University Goals: to get a sense of the geographical flow of the canonical Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. to learn about the major NT events that happened in the following Roman provinces and cities. to be able to identify these provinces and major cities (esp. the capitals) by location on a map (for the Gospels, study the maps in the NOAB, pp. nt 40, 68, 131, 151, 424, and maps #9, 12, 13, 14 in back) (for Paul's letters, study the maps in the HCSB, (see also the long list of Online Maps from the "New Testament Gateway" website) Notes: Since borders frequently shifted, there are some differences between the birth of Jesus (ca. 4 BCE), the death of Jesus (ca. 30 CE), the ministry of Paul (ca. 40-64 CE), and the writing of the other NT books (ca. 70-100 CE). The names of the ROMAN PROVINCES (or other significant regions) are in bold capital letters below; their first-century capital cities are in bold italics;

Geography Excerpted from website at www.palestine-un.org Historical Palestine is located in Western Asia, between latitudes 29.30 and 33.15 north and longitudes 24.10 and 35.40 east of Greenwich. Palestine is bordered on the west by the Mediterranean with a coastline that is 230 kilometers (km) long; on the east by Syria, with whom it shares a border of 70 km, and Jordan, with whom it shares a border of 360 km; on the north by Lebanon and Syria, sharing with them a border of 79 km; and on the south by the Sinai and the Gulf of Aqaba. The border from Taba, on the Gulf of Aqaba, to Rafah, on the Mediterranean, is approximately 240 km long. The Palestinian coast on the Gulf of Aqaba is 10.5 km long. The border between historical Palestine on the one hand, and Lebanon and Syria on the other, was determined in accordance with the Anglo-French Agreement concluded on 23 December 1920. The border between Palestine and Trans-Jordan (as it was known at that time) was determined by the British High Commissioner for Palestine and Trans-Jordan on 1 September 1922. The border between Palestine and Egypt was determined by the agreement concluded on 1 October 1906 between the Khideve of Egypt and the Ottoman government. Palestine has an oblong shape, measuring from north to south some 430 km. Its width varies from 51 to 70 km in the north and from 72 to 95 km in the middle. In the south, however, it becomes wider, extending to some 117 km. It then narrows again into a triangular shape, the tip of which touches on the Red Sea.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum The New Geography of Conflict By Michael Klare Foreign Affairs June 2001 VITAL INTERESTS The new prominence of Central Asia and its potential oil riches is but one sign of a larger transformation of U.S. strategic thinking. During the Cold War, the areas of greatest concern to military planners were those of confrontation between the U.S. and the Soviet blocs: central and southeastern Europe and the Far East. Since the end of the Cold War, however, these areas have lost much strategic significance for the United States (except, perhaps, for the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea), while other regions the Persian Gulf, the Caspian Sea basin, and the South China Sea are receiving increased attention from the Pentagon. Behind this shift in strategic geography is a new emphasis on the protection of supplies of vital resources, especially oil and natural gas. Whereas Cold War era divisions were created and alliances formed along ideological lines, economic competition now drives international relations and competition over access to these vital economic assets has intensified accordingly. Because an interruption in the supply of natural resources would portend severe economic consequences, the major importing countries now consider the protection of this flow a significant national concern. In addition, with global energy consumption rising by an estimated two percent annually, competition for access to large energy reserves will only grow more intense in the years to come.
