Atlas of the Bible: An Illustrated Guide to the Holy Land (Readers Digest)

Received a different book, but have enjoyed it.

This is a GEAT reference book, no matter the age. My 11year old great-granddaughter and I spend MANY hours studying the Bible and she wants one of every reference book I have so I'm always pleased when I locate one.Often my books are no longer in print, and I have to search the Internet and purchase used ones. It's always great when I can still find one on Amazon.

ANOTHER IN READER'S DIGEST'S SEVERAL EXCELLENT BOOKS ON THE BIBLE, THIS ONE PROVIDES A GREAT OVERVIEW OF BOTH THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS.PLENTY OF MAPS TAKE THE READER FROM PLACE TO PLACE AS THE EVENTS OF JEWISH HISTORY UNFOLD.THERE ARE ALSO MANY BIOGRAPHIES OF KEY FIGURES THROUGHOUT THE WORK, AS WELL AS AN INDEX AND DESCRIPTION OF TOWNS AND PLACE NAMES MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. ANOTHER MUST HAVE FOR ANY BIBLICAL LIBRARY.

Beautiful book of the Holy Land, lots of maps by error and color illustrations of temples and places. Best thing next to going there! Highly recommended, lots of text information detailing the places of the Bible, bringing it to life

A good book with lots of maps. A bit non theological due to the Readers Digest influence, but worth a look.

not in the ground yet

Atlas of the Bible has some great pictures and has helpful background when doing Bible study. It presents topics in easy to read vocabulary. One example is picture of Temple so you have a mental picture of what things looked like in Bible times . This helps put things in perspective.

Very interesting

Full of the scepticism and false knowledge of "the world" Jesus spoke of.It's been 6000 years and the end of lying spirit of this "world" is nigh.The ark of the covenant symbolic! Desired by the people designed by the LORD it has the seat of GOD. It caused the death of hundreds of thousands on account of deliverance and rebellion against GOD and it's a "symbol".The Red Sea crossing is at Nuweiba beach and the real Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia, Jebel al-lawz, and always has been. See Ron Wyatt.Forget science's explanation of God's creations. Science has no idea how God's creations "work". Ignore the evolution, family, relatives, species nonsense. See Walt Brown and Roger Gallop. Since I discovered the evidence that the earth is in fact flat ( Water cannot support itself and according to fake heliocentricity night and day should switch round over six months! see Edward Hendrie and Rob Skiba) I realised that God created everything. Flat earth is consistent with God's version of creation in the KJV Bible. See Clarence Larkin. For the locations of KJV Bible history see Ron Wyatt for the location of Noah's ark and the ark of the covenant.The stars, sun and moon are evidence that heaven is above us. Animal behaviour is beyond their physical and mental means. God tells us that the devil is the god of the current evil world and has produced a web of lies concealing God and is a murderer of souls. According to the Bible Jesus will be back to rule over the circle of the earth very soon as we enter the seventh millennium. Who would not want a creator that is righteous and true and wants his creations to be so too.

I bought this as I am an afficianado of ancient history and I was not disappointed in this book which is well up to RD standards. Full of maps showing the towns, regions and tribes of Ancient Judea which is obviously the focus. Recommended.

Very enjoyable and easy to read book find where minister is talking about

A Reader's Digest book is always a good book.The many maps illustrate the history of Israel.I decided for reading commentaries for the old Testament and for the New Testament ,after looking into the book.

Despite it's age this is a good book as always by Readers Digest.Well layed out and indexed make for easy reading
