“Most of the Bible stories, both of the Old Testament and the New, took place in this small land,
between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, bounded in the north by Mount Hermon, and
in the south by the Negev and Sinai deserts.
“This atlas is a guide to the events which took place in that Holy Land. It opens with the coming of
Abraham to the Promised Land, and follows the story, first of the Jews and their struggles, and then
of Jesus and his disciples.”
“I am grateful to my daughter, Natalie, who not only accompanied me to the Biblical sites, but who
also helped me both to take and to select the photographs, and to prepare the maps for the
cartographer. This atlas is, in every way, as much hers as mine.”
“It is an excellent atlas for educational study. All the maps are in a variety of contrasting colours
without being cluttered with irrelevant material, with routes and place names clearly marked. Each
map has its own scale, so that it is just as easy to follow the advance of Saul's armies in miles, as it
is to measure in yards (or metres) the distance associated with the details leading up to the death of
Jesus. … Each map is marked with a star showing the place from which the accompanying
photograph on the opposite page was taken. Biblical quotations are used as captions to the
photographs.” J. Geoffrey M. Thorne, The Testimony
