4.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginner Bible Atlas, June 20, 2000

By

This review is from: Atlas of the Bible Lands (Hardcover)

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 review is from: Atlas of the Bible Lands (Hardcover)

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.
