The Cities of Refuge: or, The Name of Jesus

"The Cities of Refuge or The Name of Jesus" is a historical work by the revered John Ross Macduff. The work is a Sunday sermon about the cities of refuge, a phenomenon in the Israeli culture of ancient times. The cities of refuge gave shelter to people who caused someone's accidental death. Although they were considered unguilty, they could suffer the revenge of victims' relatives. Yet, they received lifelong protection from revenge in the cities of refuge.
