A product of the ancient Near East, the Bible is set among geographical features that—while instantly identifiable to believers two millennia ago—are sometimes difficult to visualize for readers today. This atlas contains 100 beautifully detailed maps illustrating the movements of biblical figures and the development of nations, along with more than 100 color photographs and illustrations of archaeological sites and artifactsand reproductions of art by Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Gustave Doré. Focusing on such key events as the Exodus, the reign of King David, the exile in Babylon, and the ministry of Jesus, the text links the scriptures with their historical settings, and is accompanied throughout with quotes from the Bible.
