Bible History December 2, 2008 A wonderful tool to assist in Bible study. The names of ancient lands change throughout the centuries and this helps to identify Bible references. Also, it is beautiful illustrated.
Entertaining and Educational November 3, 2008 This book is visually striking, especially when placed on a regular bookshelf. The illustrations and maps make this especially useful for kids (maybe 8+), and the depth of reading is good for all ages.
For example, the aspects of the journeys of Paul are thoroughly explained such as the culture of the times and travels of Paul, maps, and biblical and historical information. Each of the elements are put together with beautiful artwork to make learning about the travels of Paul interesting and revealing.
This is very useful for your bible study library whether you have a family or not.
Great Book! October 15, 2008 This book is great! I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with it. The art work in it is wonderful. The information is all you would ever want to know about the bible. I wish I had ordered it sooner.
Somewhat lacking October 12, 2008 Biblica: The Bible Atlas: A Social and Historical Journey Through the Lands of the Bible Somewhat less than what I expected. It is good and entertaining but it lacks some depth. It's probably best as a "Coffee Table Book" rather than a serious study tool.
bible Atlas September 14, 2008 This is an absolutely majestic and well written bible atlas. The reader will be in store for many hours of rich reading. The images are rich in history and the very finest of classic art reproductions.
