Rose Atlas of Then and Now Bible Maps with Biblical Backgrounds and Culture
by Paul H. Wright, president of Jerusalem University College (Institiute of Holy Land Studies)
This is a Bible Atlas with something extra!
Clear plastic overlays of modern cities and countries so you know where Bible places are today.
Shows how geography was important in the stories of Abraham, Moses, David, and many other biblical characters.
For example:
Know how David’s clever understanding of geography and politics led to his marriage with Ahinoam of Jezreel.
Discover why Naomi, in the Book of Ruth, couldn’t just move back to Bethlehem after her husband’s death and use his land again.
Find out why Moses and the Children of Israel took the long southern trek from Egypt to the Promised Land, rather than the direct route.
This atlas gives you incredible insights into your favorite Bible stories. See the Table of Contents at the bottom.
