Open Your Understanding of the World of Scripture

The story of the Bible is inextricably linked to the land. To understand biblical history, we need to understand how the people, events, and geography interacted to form that ancient world.

Spanning three thousand years of biblical history, The IVP Atlas of Bible History reveals the many fascinating ways that history and archaeology confirm and complement the Bible's story. Taking a narrative approach, the atlas traces the unfolding of major events in the Old and New Testaments, from Abraham's wanderings in Canaan and Egypt to Paul's missions and the founding of new churches. It covers the many places of the world of the Bible, from Spain to Iran, from Yemen to Greece. Scholarly insights presented in a readable style add depth and color to our understanding of key people and stories in Scripture.

Features and benefits you'll find in The IVP Atlas of Bible History:

• Ninety-seven maps to help understand the biblical narrative and provide background information
• More than 150 color photographs, panoramic illustrations, and site plans, plus a range of battle plans and small artworks
• Special features on subjects such as the peoples and languages of the Bible that will deepen understanding of geography, landscape, climate, culture, and religion.

This is the perfect companion for anyone seeking a clear, reader-friendly, visual introduction to the history of the Bible.
