Product Description

The best and most comprehensive Bible atlas to date-compiled by an international team of fifty scholars with the cartography of Times Books- is now available in paperback.

The HarperCollins Concise Atlas of the Bible puts all of biblical history in its geographical context: from the earliest evidence of humankind in Palestine to the rise of Christianity in the Byzantine empire. Though it echoes the acclaimed Harper Atlas of the Bible in content, this beautiful new edition-in paperback for the first time- presents volumes of material with a clarity and brevity that will appeal to readers at all levels of interest and expertise. Families, churches, teachers, and scholars will find this edition easy to use and invaluable, with a complete chronology of events and indexes of names, places, and biblical references. Richly illustrated with more than 250 maps, site reconstructions, and color photographs, this practical resource is engaging to the eye and to the intellect.

Not For Weak Eyes, Too high price        Rating:

This is a pretty detailed Atlas, but names of places, countries, and map location names are from somewhere other than Earth. Would have little value if you did not already know a little about where you were going in the Bible history world. Obviously written and composed by non-christian publishers. Maps are un-naturally rounded, (like sphere of globe) but not at all accurate as to actual topography of the globe, probably for some kind of entertainment I guess. The print is so small and light that you can hardly read it, I find it hard to believe that a publisher of printed material would even release this kind of quality, and expect that we would find it enjoyable to read. I bought mine on Ebay for $3.95 and would not have paid $3.96 for it. Look elsewhere for a decent READABLE Atlas of the Bible.

detailled atlas        Rating:

this atlas covers many topics, eras, places, etc. not covered in usual Bible atlas. Some parts are liberal, with some displaced and unsound attacks on inerrancy. Yet it is a good tool. An even more detailled atlas would be the Time Atlas. A less detailled atlas, but excellent is Dowley's Atlas of the Bible and Christianity, in my opinion. This present atlas is a good complement to Dowley's.
