The story of God's people in the Bible is set in a particular place and at a particular time, full of journeys. Abraham's journey from Ur to Canaan, the Hebrews' escape from Egypt to the Promised Land, the expansion under King David, the exile to Babylon and Persia, Jesus' travels across Galilee and Judea, and Paul's missionary routes across the Mediterranean are all vividly charted. This atlas offers clear, annotated maps that bring the biblical narrative to life by geographically contextualising these historic journeys.

The story of God's people in the Bible is set in a particular place and at a particular time. The Bible is full of journeys.

Abraham took an epic journey from his father's home in Ur to the land of Canaan. The Hebrews journeyed from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land. The kingdom of Israel expanded under King David. Later, the Jews were taken into exile in distant Babylon and Persia. Jesus journeyed around Galilee and Judea, while Paul took an epic series of missionary journeys throughout the Mediterranean world.

It is very helpful to have maps to show where these places were, and where the journeys led. This atlas provides a clear set of annotated maps offering an accessible background to the Bible story.
