The `New Bible Atlas', assembled by a team sponsored by the UK company, Inter-Varsity Press of Leicester, England, with two distinguished `contributing editors', two equally distinguished `consulting editors', and an `organizing editor employed by the publisher is the kind of book which makes me wish I could pull a few stars from my ratings of similar books containing Biblical era maps and historical tables. My previous favorite source for maps was the Hammond `Atlas of the Bible Lands', which still wins the prize for their lushly colored physical maps underlying the political boundaries of the era being represented. Distant second places go to the Holman and Rose companies' offerings of maps, charts, and timelines, although the Rose `Book of Bible Time Lines' is a great source for teaching children and teens.This `New Bible Atlas' has two things which put it head and shoulders over the nearest competitor, Hammond, and at least one or two things which make it stand out even better from Rose and Holman. The first virtue is the fact that there are many, many more different maps, covering in far greater detail the various periods of Hebrew history covering the time Joshua conquered Canaan to the period of Jesus' Apostles' travels. For someone like me who needs a plentiful supply of maps covering all the events and books of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, this is, if I may say so, a Godsend! There are literally maps covering every change in political organization and most major military operations in ancient Palestine. The second virtue over Hammond is that almost all the maps are exactly the right size to scan into a document for a Bible Study class.
