An Excellent Biblical Atlas June 11, 2008
Yohanan Aharoni is one of the leading biblical archaeologist and his Carta Bible Atlas is one of the best. To be sure to give a full credit, Michael Avi-Yonah, Anson F. Rainey and Ze'ev Safrai co-authored this piece with Aharoni.
It contains 271 maps and covers the history of the Holy Land from 3000 BC to 200 AD. It's the fact that this is not just a book full of maps, but that is also includes historical commentaries, is what makes it such a valuable tool. It also contains numerous illustrations and examples of inscriptions that related to historical events covered in this volume. The commentaries and discussion of the maps is great and includes archeological, literary, textual and other evidence.
While reading the Old Testament, I found it especially useful when used along with Bright's History of Israel. It's the most helpful tool, I highly recommend it.

Great Atlas March 22, 2007
I am a seminary student at Liberty University, and this Atlas has been very helpful. I think it is a great addition to anyone's library who wants indepth maps and information of the Ancient Near East. Very helpful to use for bible study
 Worth every cent, every square milimeter December 14, 2005
3 out of 8 found this review helpful
Do not be disappointed by the fact that I am reviewing based on a Portuguese, Brazil published translation based on the third edition of the then called Macmillan Bible Atlas. I know the kind of Bible books I buy from Amazon. The book is worth every cent in its third edition, every square milimeter of visual information you get. How better won't it be on the new fourth? It could only be better (Perfect it would then be!) if based on satellite images like those from the NET Bible (www.bible.org...),the only reason why I do not give it five stars! But for sure, within the scope of it's original project, it is worth!
