Bible History Atlas from Carta

Bible History Atlas From Carta By F. F. Bruce

This profusely illustrated Atlas intended for young readers tells the full story of the Bible from Genesis to Acts.  The 96 maps which illustrate such events as the wandering of the Patriarchs and the journeys of St. Paul are enhanced by a text written by the renowned British biblical scholar, F.F. Bruce.

The work is not only a useful reference for finding places mentioned in the Bible but also a marvelously well-written summary of the key events of biblical history.  Designed for everyone who may be seriously reading the Bible for the first time, the book will be appreciated by seasoned readers as well who will find it to be a highly informative, yet non-technical "refresher course"

This Study Edition, artistically illustrated, Bible History Atlas starts at the very beginning of the Bible narrative and proceeds through to the revolt of the Jews against Rome, taking in the life of Jesus and the beginnings of Christianity.

The easy-to-read text and delightful maps are geared in the main for young readers but are just as enlightening for an older audience. The text by the renowned British Bible scholar, F. F. Bruce, presents an exciting narrative of the story of the Scriptures.

It will be helpful to readers of the Scriptures and all those who wish to visualize the Holy City as it was in biblical times.
