Holman Bible Atlas

Maps that are easy to read, accompanied by articles that expand the knowledge a student of the Bible can definitely use. Simply beautiful!

Evangelical, not overly historical in nature & -not superficial in dealing with the geographical details. This is my favorite atlas, a mid-level one should be everyone’s first choice. Either this, Zondervan or Moodys Bible atlas as for what’s available now. The Satellite Bible atlas is a really neat resource as well. The satellite images, make the geography much more alive but I still prefer the 3D imaging done in the Holman Atlas. The way other atlases offer the geography aim to focus on communicating the conceptual ideas going on in the geographical details of the Bible—the satellite atlas, wants you to just look at the actual image of the land and point a finger saying “that Bible text, is talking about here..& here, etc” The Sacred Bridge is more precisely a historical-political tome of information accompanied by geographical data and explanations. Yet don’t be mistaken, it deals with ancient biblical sites and tels on a scholarly level. It’s hard for the serious student to not interact with it. The authors approach it with a skeptical opinion of the biblical testimony. They don’t open up the text in relation to geography as much as I might like, they are more concerned with historical/political details & hold views that I don’t share — but nonetheless, no one else has attempted to cover as much ground as they have. They don’t just cover Israel’s national history but they establish the setting of the entire Ancient Near East in which the biblical testimony was born into. There are other atlases that hardly even touch geographical matters but focus on being something like an illustrated commentary—hardly intertwining any geographical or historical explanation. I recommend not buying them. An example of this is the “Rose Atlas Then and Now”

Beautiful maps, photos, timelines, charts, and explanations. High quality paper. Well organized. Contains index of people and places, and index of maps. And yes, it has page numbers, located in the upper middle part of the each page. Enjoy!!!

Great resource. Maps, pics and timelines all very good. Semi glossy pages and decent size font. I recommend.

Wonderful book. BUT. NO PAGE NUMBERS

This is a great reference book for the Bible stories, ancient near east and history. Couple of minor complaints: 1) some text may reference to the map couple of pages before. It makes it hard to read the text and flip back couple of pages and see what they refer to in the map. 2) the fronts on the map is too small. and 3) the colors that indicate routes sometime are too confusing because they looks similar or not clear. Other than that, it's a good reference book for the ancient maps.

I can't say/write enough good things about this book. I've read the Old Testament pages cover to cover because it's a thorough, accurate, well-written history with such useful charts and tables. It has the most superb collection of beautiful maps. While writing my biblical novel, I have had to refer to this book every day. I've bout copies as gifts for so many people now because it is beautiful as well as authoritative. If you don't understand the geography, you don't understand the culture and the people. This book shows you history and lets you see why the Middle East's geography determines its ever-changing destinies.

This has been very well done and a great quality

This books really serves as a top shelf reference to the bible itself, but from a researched perspective it’s composed very well. It’s definitely one that you’ll revisit time and again..

A must read for the Bible Scholar! Accurate history; great mapping; superb pictures. Among the best.

Book is perfect for those who want to get thorough knowledge of maps and charts and other details of bible. PERFECT

zoals ik inmiddels gewend ben van Amazon was het boek beschadigd. =( het is een mooi boek met heel veel kaarten en overzichten. heel duidelijk en uitgebreid

Great atlas, and easy to read, this is a must have for anyone who reads the Bible. It contains full color photographs, timelines, chart summaries, and helpful sidebars, it provides readers with geographical, historical, and cultural information. Nice addition to anyone's personal library.
