Reading, studying, or teaching the Bible? This invaluable resource provides historical and geographical context with vivid pictures, illustrations, maps, infographics, and more! The Intervarsity Press Atlas of Bible History unfolds chronologically, in full-color, from Abraham through the end of the 1st century, bringing people, places, and events to life. See artifacts uncovered from Bible times and gain new insights.

Each of the 85 chapters correlates with specific scripture references and is packed with photos of artifacts, sites, and maps to help readers visualize biblical information. For example, readers observe carvings of musical instruments from the time of David. Learn about the 20-ton statue found in Alexandria’s Great Harbor.
