A valuable addendum to general reference. Excellently presented, as with most Readers Digest products. The ideal companion book to this is the wonderful "THE Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" by Richard G. Patton. Readers digest shows you where the Master walked, Patton shows you exactly who left the footprints!
I know there is a tendency to look down one's nose at Reader's Digest products, but this book is a very nice addition to anyone's library, if you can find a used copy floating around. The best feature is the full color maps and photo's - easily some of the best I have ever seen. The four full page maps on pp 44-47 (and reproduced in part throughout the text as smaller detail maps) are particularly impressive and alive with color, although the scale is about 8 miles to the inch, so alot of detail is lost. The text is well written and, as far as I can tell, reasonably accurate, although the lack of sources (other than Biblical citations) is a little annoying.
Beautiful book of the Holy Land, lots of maps by error and color illustrations of temples and places. Best thing next to going there! Highly recommended, lots of text information detailing the places of the Bible, bringing it to life
This book has excellent pictures and maps that allow the serious Bible student to better relate the scriptures to the geography and historical setting of the Biblical passage.
This is a GEAT reference book, no matter the age. My 11year old great-granddaughter and I spend MANY hours studying the Bible and she wants one of every reference book I have so I'm always pleased when I locate one.Often my books are no longer in print, and I have to search the Internet and purchase used ones. It's always great when I can still find one on .
Atlas of the Bible has some great pictures and has helpful background when doing Bible study. It presents topics in easy to read vocabulary. One example is picture of Temple so you have a mental picture of what things looked like in Bible times . This helps put things in perspective.
Its what I wanted and more, thank you so mch. I need 3 more just like it if I can get them
ANOTHER IN READER'S DIGEST'S SEVERAL EXCELLENT BOOKS ON THE BIBLE, THIS ONE PROVIDES A GREAT OVERVIEW OF BOTH THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS.PLENTY OF MAPS TAKE THE READER FROM PLACE TO PLACE AS THE EVENTS OF JEWISH HISTORY UNFOLD.THERE ARE ALSO MANY BIOGRAPHIES OF KEY FIGURES THROUGHOUT THE WORK, AS WELL AS AN INDEX AND DESCRIPTION OF TOWNS AND PLACE NAMES MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. ANOTHER MUST HAVE FOR ANY BIBLICAL LIBRARY.
