ebooks The IVP Atlas of Bible History by Paul Lawrence in History

Review

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great resourceBy Y. LauThis atlas is an invaluable resource for any serious study of the bible. Care in incorporating the latest scholarship along with large full color topographical maps; chronological charts and brilliant pictures bring the geography and historicity of bible to life. If you thought atlases were just about maps; you are mistaken. 3D cutout of battlefield terrain; satellite maps; breathtaking aerial photographs; archeological schematics and artist renditions of cities all add valuable visual input and vastly enhances the geographical perspective in the study of the bible. Organized to be read alongside Genesis to Revelation; it also has a substantial section covering the Intertestamental developments as well. Not a coffee table book but valuable tool in any student; pastor or bible teacher's library.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Great Pictures; Very Informative; Awesome Book!By A. HansonI bought this book for a class I was taking in Biblical Archeology and Geography and I couldn't be more pleased with it. The author clearly knows his material. The book is filled with facts and summaries not only of the Bible; but other belief systems of that time as well. The pictures; maps; and graphs included within the book give you a glimpse of what life may have been like for the people of the Ancient Near Eastern countries. This is an educational book without that boring feeling that you are stuck in a history class!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent resource.By peggy riggsThe Atlas of Bible History was one that I ordered for a homebound student when the classroom teacher could not spare one for the student to use at home. The book arrived quickly and was in excellent condition.
