Cover of Oxford Bible Atlas

Oxford Bible Atlas

First published in 1962, with a new edition released each decade thereafter, this Bible atlas appears in a fully updated version boasting full-color photography, including arresting satellite and aerial images. Organized in four parts, the book opens with a survey of the Near East, including revised maps and textual descriptions of geography, climate and vegetation. Following parts offer vivid artifact photos and insightful descriptions of events and figures from the Old and New Testaments. An ideal complement to Michael Coogan's 1998 The Oxford History of the Biblical World.

This is a standard text for bible professors who wish to provide their students with reliable historical and geographical information in summary while reserving exegesis for thier own lectures.
