A magnificent recreation of the time, events, and places of the Bible.

In the 1000 years before the birth of Christ and the 70 years following it, the small, embattled kingdom of Israel produced the Bible, a work that is unmatched both in its literary scope and in its enduring influence on Western civilisation. The Bible is a vast epic, containing poetry and drama, legal precepts and practical guidance, spiritual insight and moral wisdom ... all within the historical and geographical framework that is the principal concern of Biblica: The Bible Atlas.

This splendid 8 part book maps the entire world of the Bible from the Creation story related in the book of Genesis to the travels of Saint Paul and the Apostles in the century after Christ. It is an essential addition to the home library with Bible tables and family trees, bibliography, glossary and index.

The eight parts consist of:
Part 1 - In the Beginning (Prehistory);
Part 2 - The Patriarchs (2000-1200 bce);
Part 3 - The Judges (1200-1000 bce);
Part 4 - The Kings (1000-720 bce);
Part 5 - The Prophets and the Righteous;
Part 6 - The Conquest of the Kingdoms (720 bce - 70 ce);
Part 7 - The Life of Jesus of Nazareth (1-33 ce);
Part 8 - Spreading the Word (33-70 ce).
