In “Putting The Bible On The Map,” BAR 09:06, I reviewed 19 major Bible atlases published between 1945 and 1982. A number of them were low-budget efforts. 1985 witnessed three new entries to the Bible atlas market. All are expensive productions, and each deserves review.
Atlas of the Bible by John William Rogerson is the biggest of the three atlases. It includes 43 maps and 352 photographs and drawings (285 in color)—an incredibly large number of color illustrations. It is appropriate to say about the Atlas of the Bible what I said in my previous review about Facts on File’s Atlas of the Roman World: “The beauty and precision of the maps, illustrations and printing in this volume are amazing.”
