Deluxe Then and Now Bible Maps with CD-Rom: Bible Atlas with Clear Plastic Overlays of Modern Cities and Countries

This is the single best Bible study aid I have ever had. The maps do a splendid job of showing the Old and New Testament worlds through the use of overlays. Moreover excellent descriptions and explanations of the scope of empires including Babylonian, Greek, Persian and Roman. Beautiful illustrations of biblical artifacts such as the Ark of the Covenant, Jesus’ tomb, etc. Anotger nice design feature is that the book itself is hardcover but when you open it, it’s spiral bound so the pages are easy to work with. I highly recommend this resource and liked it so much I bought another copy for the Sunday School.

First, a beautifully assembled book, very nicely laid out and constructed. A handsome addition to your library. Next, commentary and ideas shared alongside the maps is not academic (secular) rubbish. This is just the right supplement to your home study efforts. By Christians for Christians (or that is certainly my impression). However, I don't think it would be off putting to someone who was strictly a history buff. In fact, I can't find another volume that would even come close. Also, helps brings current events to more to the fore with a clear and easy to read maps juxtaposing the places in the news with the biblical places you are reading about in scripture. Follow Abraham and Moses. See Jerusalem as Christ would have seen it. Follow Christ's movements on his way to Golgotha. A joy to look at, huge amount of data and value in a few (66) pages. I can't recommend it enough.

I'm Catholic, and don't believe in some of the dates in this, especially not the Pharaohs and Moses dates (about a hundred years off), but it's now my book and I can write in the right proper dates where I disagree. Otherwise, THIS is lovely as a coffee table book, but moreover, it's nearly invaluable to me for Bible study, which is a daily gift from the Lord I'm blessed to be able to do. I sent another copy as a gift to a very good friend, and the "update" was probably needed with all the current events going on! I love the maps, the charts, the timelines, even if my exact Faith isn't on point with the nitty gritty details! I pray for a 3D map of "promised land" to be in an upcoming version of this lovely book! Another wee little gripe with the hardback (vs spiral bound): it lays flat, and the overlays are lovely, but turning the pages isn't exactly "seamless". HOWEVER, it's overall a great study companion and I'll confess my faults I have to the Lord, and take you up from original 4-star to 5-star, because it's THAT good. Catholics hardly have priests enough now to Confess to, and need all the prayers we can get during these End Times where the Counter Church reigns, and we're severally relegated to "home church". Blessings to all men of good will. I.X.

Great maps and overlays. Could help on showing travels of the Bible

Although it is a good resource to see how nations in modern times correspond to nations and lands in Biblical times, the book actually does cast some doubt on the Bible. Notably, two things stand out immediately. First, the book uses the NIV (Yes, the "Not Inspired Version" that says Lucifer and Jesus are the same!) as its source for scripture, not the KJV. Second, the book also casts doubt on whether the people of Israel actually crossed the Red Sea when they were led by Moses, saying that it should have translated to the Reed Sea and ignoring the Bible's claim that the Egyptians were drowned when they pursued.

I highly recommend this Bible Map. I actually purchased for other ladies in our bible study group. High-quality film overlay, detailed information. Excellent source to provide a clear vision of ancient times/locations to todays location.

This is more than maps. Then and Now means the places then in the bible and now what they are. The overlays are clear and go directly over the map of then. It's a great learning tool and for studying scripture with a much better understanding of places and people. There are timelines of different events, list of the twelve tribes and where their territory was, list of the major prophets, where they were from, where they prophesied and when. Paul's journeys. The book has a hard cover and is spiral bound so it lays down flat making it easy to read each page. The CD-ROM may be complicated for some people but it should not be. The jpegs (jpg files) are the pictures and they are each numbered as to which page they are on in the book. The book on the CD-ROM is in pdf format making it easy to maneuver through the pages, skip a page, go forward or back and read it on your computer. I opened the CD/ROM drive twice by going to this pc after opening the picture files and viewing with media photo viewer. I have Windows 10 and have two internal drives and five external drives so I had to learn how to open several at the same time. Anyway, having the CD-ROM with the use of a laptop, it can be used for a class study. But my husband and I can view this information on my large computer monitor. And too, having a laptop, this can be viewed on a TV. set if you know how to connect a laptop to a television set or have the instructions to do so. This is also much better than plain maps in the back of a bible because it is portable and has much more information than maps in a bible.

Great resource for the Pre-teen class at my church.

Apesar de poucas páginas, material muito bem feito, mapas de fácil entendimento. Para estudos é ótimo. Tem várias informações gerais de forma prática e os mapas em folha transparente estão com ótima impressão.

The maps and timelines are very helpful for the Bible study and the parallel maps between the ancient and modern world are very useful.

I recently purchased the Deluxe Then and Now Bible Maps, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision. This beautifully illustrated book provides a clear and insightful connection between ancient biblical locations and their modern counterparts. The maps are incredibly well-crafted, featuring overlays that allow you to see how the landscape has changed over time. This feature is particularly helpful for visual learners like myself, as it gives context to the stories and events described in the Bible. The combination of historical and contemporary maps helps bridge the gap between ancient scripture and today’s world, making it easier to understand the significance of various locations. Additionally, the book includes a wealth of supplementary information, such as timelines and diagrams, which enhance the learning experience. It's not just a map book; it’s a comprehensive study tool that has enriched my understanding of the Bible significantly. The hardbound format is sturdy, and the spiral binding allows it to lay flat for easy reference during study sessions. Whether you're a seasoned scholar or just starting your biblical journey, this resource is invaluable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the Bible and its geographical context!

Los mapas son del tamaño de la página, es una obraas completa que la versión de lujo, trae más mapas. Es de buena calidad.

We bought this for our teen for Christmas🎄 as he enjoys geography & understanding The Bible. He loves it. It is easy to understand & reasonably priced.
