Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts

As a divinity student, I think this book is awesome. If you are a visual learner, then this book will especially compliment your studies. I have searched out such books and this is definitely one of the best. I bought my own copy after using the book in the reference section of our library. The index can be a little tricky, because it's split up in different way. The book overall, addresses things by books of the Bible and therefore the charts and maps are laid out in context. That this book is available in large print is also a plus for weary or old eyes.

I use this book everytime I read the Bible or anything biblically related. The information contained in it, is comprehensive! It covers ancient times, to current time. The maps also contain transparencies, which really help you to see how much has changed in the middle east, over the centuries, before, during and after Bible times. It's great!

Do you have only a limited amount of time for Bible study like I do? Due to this, I need a few good reference works that can really jump-start my Bible study - ones that I can rely on every time I want to really dig into a book of the Bible. Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps & Charts is just that sort of book! It is now my FIRST STOP reference book for Bible study. Why? The balance of charts, outlines, and articles give me excellent big pictures of the Bible that I can actually REMEMBER.This work's greatest strengths are the summary charts for every book of the Bible. Unlike most, these analyze each book in A NUMBER of complementary ways, not just one. You see themes that overlap and weave together! The outlines and many, many topical charts give even more depth to each book and help tie books and themes together. The articles also include a lot of very useful background material. Overall, this reference is laid out in a very user-friendly fashion.I use this book for both personal study and teaching preparation. It is literally a must-own for anyone serious about understanding the Bible better; I cannot say enough good things about this work!

I've had some opportunities to look at this book and it is very helpful to get a general overview about the Bible. There are good pictures and charts that are very helpful. I know that there are many other types of books that are similar, but I would rate this one above the others

Wonderful maps, charts, and synopsis of each book of the Bible. Maps are easily read and can be of use to the beginning Bible student or most advanced. Well worth the price to add to your own personal library or church library.
