Crossway ESV Bible Atlas
The new Crossway ESV Bible Atlas (352 pages) will be shipping soon from Amazon.
The text of the Atlas was written by Professor John Currid (RTS-Charlotte, NC). The maps were done by David Barrett, who also served as the cartographer for the ESV Study Bible. Here’s what it contains:
- 175 full-color maps
- 70 full-color photographs
- 3-D re-creations of biblical objects and sites
- indexes
- timelines
- 65,000 words of narrative description.
“The atlas uniquely features regional maps detailing biblically significant areas such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, Italy, and Greece. It also includes a CD with searchable indexes and digital maps, and a removable, 16.5 x 22-inch map of Palestine.”
One of the neat things for me is being able to see the ESVSB illustrations—of the tabernacle, the temples, Jerusalem at various times, etc—in great detail over a two-page spread on glossy paper.
