This review is from: HOLMAN BIBLE ATLAS: A Complete Guide to the Expansive Geography of Biblical History (Hardcover)
Hands down, this is one of the best atlases I have seen of the Ancient Near East. And it presents the majority consensus of scholars today in terms of geographical distributions, routes taken, culture and history. Just reading the text alone is worth the price of admission. I must confess, though, that I am a map junkie and would loved to have seen more maps. As it stands, however, this atlas still makes an outstanding resource. I simply can't think of a better way to describe it. If you're a serious Bible student, or even a not so serious one, you should defiantly get one. Put it on your Christmas list or whatever, but pick up a copy.

Magnificent! The Best Bible Atlas Hands Down!,
By J.M. Hebert (Western USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HOLMAN BIBLE ATLAS: A Complete Guide to the Expansive Geography of Biblical History (Hardcover)
I suppose I should preface this review by saying that I am not a former student of Dr. Brisco as the other reviewers were. Therefore, I can assure you that I don't have a prejudicial view of the work. But I can agree with the previous reviewers by guaranteeing that this Bible Atlas is, by far, the best in its class, offering extensive coverage of both the social and physical geography of Palestine and the Near East for a very afforable price. The grahpical quality of the maps and visual aids are simply stunning and unsurpassed by anything else out there. The only Atlas that comes close to this work is Zondervan's NIV Atlas Of The Bible by Rasmussen. Nothing else should even be considered. If you can have only one Bible Atlas, this is the one you want! Don't waste your time searching for anything better!

Excellent maps and photos,
By A Customer
This review is from: HOLMAN BIBLE ATLAS: A Complete Guide to the Expansive Geography of Biblical History (Hardcover)
The maps are colorful and detailed. The maps also give the viewer a good sense of the elevation changes from the hill areas to the sea-level areas. Different nations are highlighted in different colors, and viewers can see the empires land borders in the different time periods.There are many photos of the land and archaeology items. The book also gives detailed descriptions about what life was like in many of the empires, and how the empires were formed and grew. If you are trying to decide whether to spend the extra dollars for this book: I believe the extras including the map details, land photos, and commentaries on the living conditions and empire developments make this book a much better value than some of the less expensive books, which I like...but the extra details in this book make it more than worth any difference in price.
