User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Holman Bible Atlas
This is a very good Bible atlas. It has solid narrative and colorful maps and illustrations to support the text. The book is easily followed as it is divided into coded chapters and sections. But the main focus is the maps. Many are in full color, some even depict three dimensional cross sections to help the reader understand local topography. To supplement the maps and text, there are several charts. These charts give quick summaries of their topics. Rounding out the visuals of the book are various artworks and some photographs. Many of the photographs are taken from angles that do not show modern features such as power lines or modern structures. In this light they add dimension to the book as they show the reader what the people of ancient Palastine would have seen.

This book is essential for Bible scholars and historians alike. Geographers will also find it useful. But do not misunderstand me. This atlas is for everyone. It has information for people taking Bible study classes, or for pastors, of for anyone with a desire to know the Holy Lands in greater detail. The book covers the biblical period and carries the development of early Christianity into the second and third centuries. But the focus is the Bible times through the writings of Paul. This book comes highly recommended.





User Review: 3 out of 5 stars - kind of dry for HOMESCHOOLERS
This was a decent resource, but I recommend instead:

Reproducible Maps, Charts, Time Lines and Illustrations: What the Bible Is All About Resources

I especially say this comment for homeschoolers!




User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - My standby gift for years!
Brisco's Atlas continues to serve as the gift of my choice for students, fellow church members, and new believers. There is no better Bible study discipline than to learn to use a Bible Atlas parallel to your studies. The Holman Bible Atlas is the best! It never fails me.
