 Our Description

The Oxford Bible Atlas, Fourth Edition

The fourth edition of the Oxford Bible Atlas, now available with full color maps and illustrations, has been thoroughly revised to bring it up to date with regard to biblical scholarship, archaeology and topography. The Atlas will help readers of the Bible understand the contexts in which its stories are set and to appreciate the world from which it emerged and which formed its background. Maps show the geographical setting of the Bible's stories and reflect the successive stages of their accounts, while specifically chosen full color illustrations bring the countries and their peoples to life. The accompanying text describes the land of Palestine, and its wider ancient Near Eastern and east Mediterranean settings. It outlines clearly the successive historical periods, and describes the major civilizations with which Israelites, Jews, and Christians came into contact. There is also an illustrated survey of the relevance of archaeology for the study of the Bible. The Oxford Bible Atlas provides a superb guide to the geography of the Holy Land throughout biblical history, from the Exodus period through to New Testament times.

Adrian Curtis, editor,  is Senior Lecturer in Hebrew Bible at the University of Manchester.

Published April 2007, 224 pages, 27 maps, 81 color illustrations
