Zondervan Essential Atlas of the Bible
This slim volume introduces the geography and history of the biblical world with color photographs and maps and accessibly written text. A brief overview of the Middle East’s terrain, climate, and trade routes is followed by several chapters that emphasize places and events recorded in the Bible, from the possible locations of the Garden of Eden to the extensive missionary travels of Paul. Although written from a Christian perspective and intended for a Christian audience, the atlas is nevertheless appropriate for theological, academic, and large public libraries. --Christopher McConnell
