Description: Heralded as the most authoritative and up-to-date atlas of the Bible now available, Biblica: The Bible Atlas with an enclosed CD-ROM goes beyond the more traditional books of its kind. It places the biblical narrative and its peoples in their historical, cultural, social, and geographic contexts, and it makes clear the complex history and cultures of the Bible lands as they relate to the region’s modern social and political landscape. But perhaps most important of all, Biblica: The Bible Atlas incorporates the most recent archaeological findings and research, combining scholarly data with engaging discussion of the Bible’s immortal stories. In summary, this unusual volume offers readers fresher insights and a deeper appreciation of the biblical narrative than any other reference source of its kind. Biblica: The Bible Atlas is also a visually stunning guide to the Bible and biblical lands, featuring more than 650 full-color paintings, drawings, etchings, and photographs plus 125 full-color maps of the region. Following the extensive and beautifully illustrated main text are 14 pages of biblical reference tables, an extensive bibliography, a glossary of biblical terms, a large selection of biblical quotations from the Old and New Testaments, a gazetteer of biblical place names, and an extensive index. Here is a beautiful and informative book that will make a treasured addition to the family bookshelf. It will also be a much-sought-after volume in reference libraries everywhere.

Review Summary: A big, ornate cathedral of a book |

Details: Much more than an atlas, this is a big, ornate cathedral of a book. I came across Biblica in the reference section of my public library. I was so taken with the book, I bought two copies to give to my pastor and favorite Bible study teacher.
Written by a team of distinguished academics and Bible scholars, Biblica includes 650 high quality color images of paintings, sculptures and scenic photographs. There are 125 maps, some of them spanning two full pages, showing prominent locations, journeys, battles, kingdoms and empires discussed in the Bible. For example, page 167 shows a full page map tracing possible routes the Israelites may have taken on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. The first 89 pages include extensive sections on the development of the Bible, Bible archeology, and the geography and history of Bible lands. From there the book explains the geography, history, and cultures of the Bible chronologically, every page adorned with stunning artwork, illustrations, maps and photographs. The back of the book includes informative tables, extensive family trees, a bibliography and glossary. |

Review Summary: Entertaining and Educational |

Details: 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. |
