Holman QuickSource Bible Atlas with Charts and Biblical Reconstructions packs an amazing amount of information about the Bible into a book that's easy-to-carry and easy-to-use. The book opens with an introduction to the physical context in which the events of the Bible took place, the varied climates within this narrow geographical area, the natural and manmade routes that made Palestine the crossroads of the world, and the agricultural/religious calendar that was so integral to life in Israel. The second part of the book is arranged chronologically providing 100+ maps that illuminate the geographical context of major Biblical events. Placed in appropriate chronological sequence are charts and biblical reconstructions.
