The beauty of this book is its simplicity. Unlike some Bible atlases, this one does not have a great deal of text to sift through; just nice, easy-to-read maps.

There are also captioned pictures which relate to whichever map is on the page. The captions are simple and the photos are interesting.

Towards the end of the book, there are a few helpful charts, such as a Time Chart of Bible History, one on the Kings of Judah and Israel, The House of the Maccabees and Hasmoneans, as well as the family tree of the herodic dynasty.

This book would serve a new student of the Bible (or a younger student...grade school through high school) very well. It gives you a fair amount to information in a non-stifling style. It's easily well worth the affordable price.

For the price this atlas out ranks the others by far. Most of the time it provides the exact map/information I need for my study. I have several others that I have picked up through seminary and later but this is the one I still turn to. It is a classic that is worth every penny.

This book has excellent and colorful maps plus descriptions of the Bible lands. The maps and information are so attractive that they inspire the reader to spend time with them. I teach a course entitled INTRODUCTION TO THE OLD TESTAMENT and this book is a required text. Reading the Old Testament is more easily understood as the locations and happenings are highlighted in this book.

I have not received the books and find out that they may have sent my books somewhere else instaed of Tx. Please, let me know what is going on.

ATLAS OF THE BIBLE LANDS

ATLAS OF THE BIBLE LANDS is a rather simple and straight-forward collection of Biblically-themed maps. Palestine, Ancient Canaan, the Ancient World at the Time of the Patriarchs, the Exodus, the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the Empire of Alexander, the Roman World, Jesus' Galilean Ministry, the Journeys of the Apostles, and The Spread of Christianity are just a few of the different maps in the book. The maps are easy-to-read and don't have a lot of extra or unnecessary text. Each map is accompanied by small captioned pictures and illustrations that supplement one's understanding about what life was like at the time the map was relevant. The end of the book has a timeline and a couple of charts. Even though I've been studying the Bible most of my life, I still refer to this atlas every now and again. It's a great tool for laypeople and new students of the Bible.

This atlas is excellent for Bible Study. The colors of each map are clear. The maps have just the right amount of "busyness" on them so things are easy to locate. I have covered mine with clear contact paper to protect the soft cover.

This is a WONDERFUL publication and a companion for my Biblical studies. I've owned a copy for 30 years and was looking to replace the well-worn edition - but, considering that the original cost only $3.50 and the replacement is more than ten times that amount - - I think that I'll hang on to the one I have.

It has been 2 months and i have not recieved this book yet. This person is dishonest and doesnt respond to my emails when I try to get into contact.
