The book covers the period from the earliest known civilizations to the end of the Iron Age, and is divided into two parts.

It explores the rise and fall of the great empires that dominated the area, including the Hittites, the Mitanni, and the Arameans. It also looks at the role of religion in the region, including the worship of the storm-god Baal and the goddess Astarte.The second part of the book covers Palestine, from the earliest known settlements to the end of the Iron Age. It examines the rise of the Israelite monarchy, the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon, and the eventual division of the kingdom into Israel and Judah. It also explores the role of religion in Palestine, including the worship of Yahweh and the significance of the Temple in Jerusalem.Throughout the book, Paton draws on a wide range of sources, including archaeological discoveries, ancient texts, and modern scholarship. He provides a detailed and engaging account of the history of Syria and Palestine, shedding light on the rich cultural heritage of the region and its significance in the ancient world.
