The Ivp Atlas of Bible History
Book (italiano):
This work takes the peoples and events described in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible and places them in a geographic setting. Author Lawrence (a research assistant at the U. of Liverpool's School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology, UK) generally treats the events of the book literally and shies away from academic theoretical debates. He proceeds book by book through the Bible, presenting maps showing where particular places were located; outlining the borders of various kingdoms and empires; describing the military movements of important battles; and illustrating such events as the Exodus of the Israelites or the travels of Jesus and his apostles. In addition to the various maps, a number of other photographs and illustrations provide some perspective on what important cities and buildings looked like, temple and fortress layouts, and similar matters.
