Written by church history expert Tim Dowley, The Kregel Bible Atlas is a reference intended for all readers, from lay people to serious students of the Bible. Full-color maps, charts, diagrams, the boundaries of ancient empires, photographs, information concerning the historical context of the ancient world, and much more fill this trim yet savvy companion that outlines nearly everything that modern archaeology can tell us concerning when and where the great events of the Old and New Testaments took place. An expertly written, researched, and presented reference.
Editorial Review:
This full-color, carefully-organized biblical resource introduces the land and times of the Bible in a clear, attractive, and easily-read format, exploring the land of Palestine within its larger historical and geographic setting. Noted expert in biblical history Tim Dowley traces Old Testament history from the time of the patriarchs through the Israelites' return from Babylonian exile. He then presents a brief look at world and Jewish national events that occurred between the Old and New Testaments, setting the stage for Jesus' coming. His treatment of the New Testament era includes an overview of Judaism, various political climates, and the ministry of Jesus from His birth to His ascension. Also included are the earliest days of the church-its birth and spread under the ministry of the apostles.
