Holman Bible Atlas: A Complete Guide to the Expansive Geography of Biblical History Hardcover – February 1, 2014

So informative, the perfect way to elevate your understanding of the Bible. Highly recommend.

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

Beautiful and informative book. I really love and recommend this to others, it really helps to put things into perspective.

Excellent supporting material to go with my Holman Dictionary.

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.

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!!!

A must have for herminutical geographic context.

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”
