Holman Quicksource Bible Atlas with Charts and Biblical Reconstructions

I do an in-depth Bible study and this Atlas has proved invaluable. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to put a 'face' with some of the Bible places we read about. Great pictures and information that compare the places to specific verses and books of the Bible.

I purchased this book as a reward for extra effort in my Sunday school class, and I was really amazed at how good a book it is. For a paperback, this book has a narrow page width, or I suppose you could say the pages have a greater length than typical. The pages are also are not ment to be bent back at the binding, but they have an area a short distance from the binding where the pages are designed to 'bend.' This design for a paperback is new to me, although perhaps some of you are familiar with this. The overall design of the book lends itself well to tables, charts and maps. Most tables fit well in this design, and charts may be reproduced by using adjoining pages to make a larger image. Most maps of Israel are necesarily longer and narrower than other maps you see, so this format works well there as well. The whole thing seemed really modern to me, kind of like wide-screen, but the bottom line is the practicality of it. Now, considering it has most all of the hardcover complete Holman Bible Atlas, then you have quite a handy refernce at a reasonable price with enhanced designed functionality. Don't hesitate on this one. It's a real winner

A friend of mine had this book at Bible Study the other day, we are watching the "That The World May Know" videos with Ray Vander Laan and He talks and shows you all the areas of the Bible and This Bible Atlas has helped us to see the maps and charts for where Ray talks about. It's a great guide to have for anyone wanting to see where Jesus walked, see the time lines of the Bible, see the family tree of David, ect. It's got wonderful pictures and charts everywhere. We use it a lot.

A nice paperback sized atlas, handy to bring around. Yet the maps and charts included inside this book are amazingly comprehensive! The content is arranged clearly and concisely, following the events of the Bible chronologically. This book is highly recommended to laypeople, teachers and Bible Scholars alike. However, one thing missing that would make this book complete would be an index of terms as well as scriptural references that could have been listed at the back. All this book has is a content page in front.

I have enjoyed this Atlas so much that I have ordered more for gifts for friends and family....,It is so easy to use for Bible study...An excellent source....
