Dr. Paul H. Wright, author of this
book is the President of Jerusalem University College. He has lead many
students on field studies throughout the territories of Israel and Palestine.
With his many degrees and vast knowledge of the Old and New Testament life and
times in this area, his book of Then and Now Bible Map Atlas is a welcome
addition to the library of any student or teacher of biblical content.
The book has lots of pictures and
text relating the history of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of our faith. A
two-page spread shows an Old Testament Timeline from Genesis to 400 BC. The first
chapter describes in detail the topography and climate of the land of the Biblical
Story. Numerous scriptures sprinkle the pages pointing out facts verified in
the scripture.
Some large full page maps have
sturdy clear plastic overlays of modern day places. Not only maps but photographs
of places of interest like the Dead Sea with the salt formations, Shiloh
settlement of Joshua and Mt. Carmel. Walk where Jesus walked and see photos of
the Sea of Galilee, the shoreline of Capernaum, and what many believe to be the
garden tomb of Jesus resurrection.
The Bibliography is impressive with a least thirty-seven
books and articles used to gather information for the book. The Index is very
detailed covering seven pages: a welcome tool when searching for a particular
place or character in Bible history.
My favorite feature is that you receive a very nice book as well as the book on PDF, 287 pages. The book is very large but the files can be opened on the iPad.
