This is the only Bible Atlas you will every need. It can be read alone or as part of a Bible reading plan. This is more than a simple atlas, it stands alone in its completeness and unsurpassed maps, diagrams and illustrations. It contains what you would expect from a first class atlas; maps of all the classic routes, Exodus, Babylon, Jesus' and Paul footsteps. A map of every town, city, country and empire discussed in the Bible. Each map or diagram is accompanied by several paragraphs of history and background. Where this atlas exceeded my expectations was in its detail. For example, the course that Jesus followed as he crossed the Sea of Galilee, the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and Masada, etc. the rise of ancient Empires that so effected the Jews. Bottom line, the one atlas that will meet all your expectations.
