Overview

The Holman Bible Atlas illuminates the Bible for a whole new generation of students and teachers by introducing them to the physical, cultural, and historical settings of the biblical narrative. Integrating insights from physical and historical geography, archaeology, ancient historical sources, and the Bible itself, the Holman Bible Atlas presents 132 newly designed full color maps complete with specific biblical texts to assist teachers and students alike in understanding. Beginning with the physical geography of the ancient Near East and Palestine, the Holman Bible Atlas illuminates various periods of biblical history by outlining eras from the Patriarchs through the Christian era and Constantine.

    I like the book, honestly. There is good information and it is well written. I have both the book and digital copy. I do have problems with this purchase and I recommend you not buy it. First, I have issues with the resource loading on my mobile device which I use quite often. I have tried everything. It worked at first, but now just does not load/display. I may issue a technical request to figure it out. Second, and this is a gripe with many folks (there is a thread in the forum in fact): The map files are low resolution. Logos claims that this is what the publisher sent them. I know that other version of digital software also have this same issue. Logos is compelled to provide the buyer a more usable high resolution of the maps, we pay full price for the digital copy and I expect a map that I can zoom in and not become crud. Its that bad which is a shame because the book itself and printed maps are outstanding and useful. What a shame. 3 stars for the digital copy and 5 stars for the book.

    Is Logos going to offer the newest Baker's Bible Atlas by Charles F. Pfieffer? I need it for a class that I am teaching at a School of Preaching and Biblical Studies.

    This is a great resource for me. I'm a very visual person and it helps me to know how Biblical places relate to each other on a map with a description of the political issues and notes on archeological evidence that supports the Biblical record. One more note: I find viewing the graphics in Logos hard, which is more of a comment on the Logos system than the Atlas. But you can save the image to your computer and open it in another program if you need to see the details better. I hope Logos finds a way to display graphics better.
