David A. Dorsey (1949-2014) taught Old Testament at Evangelical Seminary in Myerstown, Pennsylvania, from 1979 until retiring in 2013 as Distinguished Professor of Old Testament. Dorsey's study on the Iron Age roads of ancient Israel stems from his dissertation work at Dropsie University, based on several years of extensive investigation of ancient sites in Israel by motorcycle and on in-depth study of biblical geography as a student of Anson Rainey, who served as the primary reader of his dissertation. Dorsey brings his research on the roads together in an unparalleled and detailed treatment of the road system of Iron Age Israel, showing lines of evidence for the highways and byways traversed by ancient Israelites in each region of the country from Dan to Beersheba.
